Enzyme used as a marker for liver cancer.
prothrombin time, hematocrit
The INR has basically replaced the prothrombin time, or PT.
Carboxy-haemoglobin.
Prothrombin is converted to thrombin by the enzyme thromboplastin. Thrombin plays a vital role in the clotting cascade by converting fibrinogen into fibrin, which forms a mesh that helps stop bleeding.
The prothrombin test specifically evaluates the presence of factors VIIa, V, and X, prothrombin, and fibrinogen.
Thromboplastin -> Prothrombin -> Thrombin -> Fibrinogen -> Fibrin

prothrombin time
Mari carboxy THC is a metabolite of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive component found in cannabis. It is formed in the body when THC is metabolized and is commonly detected in drug tests to confirm recent cannabis use.
Vitamin K corrects prothrombin in the setting of biliary obstruction but not of hepatocellular damage.
Prothrombin is synthesized in the liver, specifically in the hepatocytes. It is then released into the bloodstream where it plays a critical role in the blood clotting cascade.
