6. Specializing Testing for Thrombotic Disorders
Sign in to view your progression
6.2: Identify the limitations (e.g. strengths, weaknesses) of specialized testing for thrombotic disorders.
6.3 Formulate follow-up testing as appropriate based on the results of specialized testing for initial and recurrent thrombotic events
6.4 Interpret functional and genetic tests used for the diagnosis of acquired and congenital inhibitor deficiencies (e.g. antithrombin, protein C, Protein S, tissue factor pathway inhibitor)
6.5 Perform functional and genetic testing of congenital and acquired prothrombotic factors (e.g. FV Leiden, Prothrombin G20210A, JAK2)
6.6 Interpret functional and genetic testing of congenital and acquired prothrombotic factors
6.7 Perform and interpret laboratory tests used for the diagnosis of the antiphospholipid syndrome
6.8 Perform and interpret laboratory tests used for the therapeutic monitoring in patients taking vitamin K antagonists, heparins, antiplatelet drugs and DOACs
6.9 Apply knowledge on the use and limitations of tests for activated coagulation status (e.g. D-Dimer, prothrombin fragment 1+2, Thrombin-Antithrombin complex)
6.10 Apply understanding fo the function, limitations and applications of global tests for thrombotic and fibrinolytic disorders (e.g. thromboelastography/-metry, thrombin generation)
6.11 Perform and interpret laboratory tests for the assessment of the fibrinolytic system (e.g. plasminogen, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, alpha-2-antiplasmin, thrombin activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor), and for monitoring fibrinolytic therapy
6.12 Apply knowledge of new developments (e.g. Flow-based systems, flow cytometry, to diagnostic practice in thrombosis and hemostasis)
