  • Methodologies and reagents for detecting fibrinolysis and hyperfibrinolysis in a blood sample using viscoelastic analysis
    Patent number: 9354243
    Abstract: In some embodiments, the invention provides methods for detecting fibrinolysis or hyperfibrinolysis in a blood sample from a patient. The method includes subjecting a first portion of a blood sample comprising reduced platelet function to viscoelastic analysis in the absence of an inhibitor of fibrinolysis to obtain a coagulation characteristic of the first portion at a time point; and subjecting a second portion of the blood sample comprising reduced platelet function to viscoelastic analysis in the presence of an inhibitor of fibrinolysis to obtain a coagulation characteristic of the second portion at the time point; wherein a difference between the coagulation characteristic of the first portion and the coagulation characteristic of the second portion indicates fibrinolysis or hyperfibrinolysis in the blood sample.
