Pre-analytical Variables In Routine Coagulation Testing: Setting the Stage for Accurate Results

Understand the potential impacts of pre-analytical variables on coagulation test results and how to address them

Pre-analytical variables associated with patients, specimen collection, specimen transportation, and specimen processing and storage can cause significant differences in the values obtained from routine and specialized coagulation testing. Failure to recognize or address these pre-analytical variables may lead to inaccurate or misleading test values, resulting in patient mismanagement, including misdiagnosis and improper dosing and treatment.
