Abstract:
For the laboratory control of a heparin therapy thrombin time, partial thromboplastin time and activated recalcification time are used. On account of distinct differences in the heparin sensitivity of these reactions an indication-related application is necessary. The ability of evidence and the possibility of establishing test-specific therapeutic regions are restricted by differences caused by reagents, individual variability and influence by accompanying haemostasiological changes. The own approach, taking into consideration the so-called heparin resistance, it presented.
