Abstract This study is aimed at investigating the relationship between treatment modality, glycemic control and blood homeostasis as represented by prothrombin time (PT) activated thromboplastin (APTT) in T2DM patients. Sixty-four type 2 diabetic patients (40 males 24 females) on metformin or insulin both for not less than six months of ages 20 75 years were selected during their visit to Diabe...

Our objective was to determine the best measure of heparin anticoagulation in neonatal patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Activated clotting time (ACT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), and antifactor Xa levels, along with corresponding heparin infusion rates and heparin bolus volumes, were collected from neonates receiving ECMO at our institution from 2008 to 2013. A...

Acquired hemophilia A (AHA) is a rare bleeding disorder caused by autoantibodies against factor VIII (FVIII). Treatment with clopidogrel is a cause of AHA, but its clinical course is unknown. Recently, we treated a 65-year-old man who was hospitalized for cerebellar infarction and had a prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) with soft tissue oozing after 3 weeks of clopidogrel u...

AIMS To examine the sensitivity and specificity to past thrombotic events of four different coagulation tests, which screen for lupus anticoagulant (LA), and of anticardiolipin antibodies in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. METHODS Fifty three consecutive patients with systemic lupus erythematosus were studied of whom three males and 21 females, aged 21-60 years, had a history of v...

Background: Coagulation, also known as blood clotting, is the process by which convert from a liquid to gel, forming clot. It referred haemostasis, stopping of loss damaged vessel, followed repair.
 Material and methods: This was cross sectional study conducted at albawasla medical laboratory, Khartoum, Sudan during period August November, 2021 evaluate effect time hemolysis on prothrombin...

In 45 patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) without cerebro-cardiovascular diseases (CCVD) the modified method of the tissue thromboplastin inhibition test (TTIT) was studied. TTIT is the method of detection of the lupus anticoagulant (LA), LA, first recognized in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, is presented by a prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), a slightly to m...
