(For In Vitro Diagnostic Use Only)
Dia-PT is a rabbit brain thromboplastin with own solvent for Prothrombin Time determinations.
SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND
Dia-PT thromboplastin is a rabbit brain extract, which contains tissue factor, lipids and calcium ions. This reagent is used for determination of Prothrombin Time (PT). The PT according to Quick is a sensitive screening test for the extrinsic coagulation pathway. Dia-PT as a reagent for PT is highly sensitive to vitamin K antagonists, decreased level of factors in extrinsic pathway (factor II, V, VII, and X), hereditary or acquired coagulation disorders and liver failure. Therefore, the PT with Dia-PT is used for presurgical screening and monitoring for oral anticoagulant therapy (OAT).
