What can cause clots in the EDTA specimen?
Clots in an EDTA specimen can be caused by improper mixing of the blood sample after collection, leading to inadequate anticoagulation. Additionally, using expired or improperly stored EDTA tubes may compromise their effectiveness. Contamination or hemolysis during the collection process can also contribute to clot formation. Finally, certain patient conditions, such as hypercoagulability, may increase the risk of clotting even in anticoagulated samples.
Why are EDTA specimens obtained before other specimens when collected by skin puncture?
