INR is a valuable measure of the liver's ability to synthesize fibrinogen and vitamin K-dependent clotting factors: factors II (prothrombin), V, VII, and X. Changes can occur rapidly because some of the involved clotting factors have short biologic half-lives (eg, 6 h for factor VII). Abnormalities indicate severe hepatocellular dysfunction, an ominous sign in acute liver disorders. In chronic liver disorders, an increasing INR indicates progression to liver failure. The INR does not increase in mild hepatocellular dysfunction and is often normal in cirrhosis. AN abnormal INR can result from coagulation disorders such as a consumptive coagulopathy or vitamin K deficiency. Fat malabsorption, including cholestasis, can cause vitamin K deficiency.
what does high RDW in hematology test refer to?
Plasma
PLT means platelet count.
Mindray's hematology controls and calibrators are the original standards with which to evaluate the precision and accuracy of hematology analyzers. Backed up by world-class development and manufacturing, these hematology controls and calibrators offer the assurance of highest quality from your lab results. All of these hematology controls and calibrators feature long-term stability and ready-to-run tubes, and are thus convenient to use.
