MLTS 1308 Hematological Tests and Analysis II
This course covers the physiological mechanisms of primary and secondary hemostasis, platelet kinetics, coagulation cascade pathways, and fibrinolysis. Students evaluate quantitative and qualitative platelet disorders, inherited and acquired factor deficiencies, thrombotic states, and anticoagulant therapy monitoring. Laboratory instruction focuses on the analytical principles, operational mechanics, and quality assurance of manual and automated coagulation testing—including Prothrombin Time (PT/INR), Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (aPTT), fibrinogen assays, D-dimer, and plasma mixing studies for factor deficiency and inhibitor differentiation.
