Coagulation assays are screening tools, interpret with specimen quality, reagent context, and institutional reference intervals.

  • Describe fibrinogen Clauss vs derived methods at overview depth
  • Convert between g/L and mg/dL conceptually (1 g/L = 100 mg/dL)
  • Recognize hypofibrinogenemia in DIC and dysfibrinogenemia patterns
  • Interpret with method-specific reference interval
