Image: Doctors recommend that all COVID-19 patients admitted to the ICU undergo a thromboelastography (TEG) to test for the risk of forming blood clots. The TEG 6s system provides rapid, comprehensive and accurate identification of an individual’s hemostasis condition in a laboratory or point-of-care setting (Photo courtesy of Haemonetics Corporation).

Thromboelastography Identifies Undetected Blood Clots in COVID-19 Patients

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused more than 400,000 deaths globally. Disseminated intravascular coagulopathy and other COVID-19–associated coagulopathies occur among patients with severe SARS-CoV-2 infections. More...

Soluble Transferrin Receptor Investigated in Iron Deficiency Anemia

Anemia is a global public health problem and approximately 30% of the world's population suffered from anemia, with children and pregnant women being the most affected. Microcytic hypochromic anemia is a common type of anemia, and iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is the most common manifestation of this anemia. More...

Microcytosis Is a Risk Marker of Cancer in Primary Care

Microcytosis is a term used to describe red blood cells that are smaller than normal. Anemia is when there are low numbers of properly functioning red blood cells in the body. In microcytic anemia, the body has fewer red blood cells than normal and those red blood cells it does have are also too small. More...

Lupus Anticoagulant Prolongs Activated Partial-Thromboplastin Time in COVID-19

Patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have a profound hypercoagulable state, and complicating venous thrombotic events are common. Abnormalities in coagulation screening measures, including a prolonged activated partial-thromboplastin time (aPTT), have been reported in patients with COVID-19. More...
