QT 90% Explanation: Many laboratories report this as a percentage of a standardised time, e.g. 30 seconds. The principle of Quick determination: Blood plasma or capillary blood is mixed with a coagulation reagent (= thromboplastin) and coagulated in a test tube. The time the sample needs to coagulate is measured. However, the result is not quoted in seconds but as a percentage of normal. The coagulation times are evaluated in a diagram: the longer the coagulation times, the lower the percentages. For a person who does not take any oral anticoagulants (Vitamin K antagonists), the Quick value commonly lies between 70% and 130 %. A Quick value of e.g. 30% indicates the prolonged coagulation time. The lower the Quick value, the longer the blood takes to coagulate. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 17 hrs (2013-06-12 09:41:26 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry, apologies to the discussioN, I didn't notice it the first time round -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 17 hrs (2013-06-12 09:43:04 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I think, nowadays, it is called (the) Quick Test |
