  • Publication number: 20230160896
    Abstract: Provided is a means capable of predicting a formation of thrombus or a risk thereof in a medical device performing blood circulation by a pump, by a simple and minimally invasive method. A method for predicting a formation of thrombus or a risk thereof in a medical device performing blood circulation by a pump, wherein it is predicted that thrombus is formed or there is a risk thereof in the medical device when a concentration or expression amount of ADAM28 in a body fluid sample collected from a subject wearing the medical device is elevated compared with a reference value.
