Beschreibung
This second edition volume expands on the previous edition with updates about the latest state-of-the-art techniques used in leading hemostasis and thrombosis laboratories for diagnosis and exclusion of hemorrhagic and thrombotic diseases. The chapters in this book are organized into seven parts. Part One provides a general overview on hemostasis and thrombosis, preanalytical issues in testing, and routine hemostasis assays. Part Two covers laboratory testing for thrombophilia, including reviews for activated protein C resistance, protein C, lupus anticoagulant testing, and antiphospholipid antibodies. Part Three addresses monitoring continuous anticoagulant infusions and measuring the effects of oral anti-thrombotic therapy. Part Four talks about heparin induced thrombocytopenia and vaccine induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia. Part Five and Six cover ADAMTS13 activity testing and new information on bleeding disorders such as chromogenic factor VIII assays, measurement of emicizumab, and treatment of hemophilia A and B. Finally, Part Seven discusses global assays, research applications, and postanalytical considerations. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Cuttingedge and comprehensive, Hemostasis and Thrombosis: Methods and Protocols, Second Edition is a valuable resource for scientists and researchers struggling to identify the appropriate methods for hemostasis and thrombosis testing, or who seek additional expert guidance on such testing.
