Ordering Recommendation

Determine the cause for a prolonged prothrombin time or activated partial thromboplastin time. Condition-specific testing is preferred when the patient has a known coagulation disorder or a clear bleeding presentation.

Interpretive Data

Refer to report.

This test was developed and its performance characteristics determined by ARUP Laboratories. It has not been cleared or approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. This test was performed in a CLIA certified laboratory and is intended for clinical purposes.

Compliance Category

Laboratory Developed Test (LDT)

Note

Submission of a completed Patient History Form with test order will allow for optimal panel interpretation. The Patient History Form for Prolonged Clot Reflex Panel is available on the ARUP web site or by contacting ARUP Client Services at (800) 522-2787. 

If D-Dimer is abnormal, Soluble Fibrin Monomer is added. If PT is abnormal PT, Inhibitor Screen, 1:1 Mix is added. If PTT is abnormal, Thrombin Time is added. If Thrombin Time is normal, PTT 1:1 mix is added. If Thrombin time is abnormal, Reptilase Time and PTT Heparin Neutralization is added. If PTT Heparin Neutralization is abnormal, PTT 1:1 mix is added. If PTT 1:1 mix is abnormal, Platelet Neutralization procedure is added. If dRVVT is abnormal, dRVVT 1:1 mix is added. If dRVVT 1:1 mix is abnormal, dRVVT confirmation is added. If Platelet Neutralization procedure and dRVVT confirmation are normal or if one is normal and the other not done, Hexagonal Phospholipid Neutralization is added. Depending on findings, one or more reflexive tests may be required in order to provide a clinical interpretation. Additional charges apply.
