Descriptor tiempo de trombina
Entry term(s) tiempo de reptilasa
Scope note: Tiempo de coagulación del PLASMA mezclado con una solución de TROMBINA. Es una medida de la conversión del FIBRINÓGENO en FIBRINA, que está prolongado en la AFIBRINOGENEMIA, fibrinógeno anormal, o la presencia de sustancias inhibidoras, por ejemplo, productos de degradación de fibrina-fibrinógeno o HEPARINA. En lugar de la trombina puede utilizarse BATROXOBINA, una enzima semejante a la trombina que no es afectada por la presencia de heparina.

Scope note: Clotting time of PLASMA mixed with a THROMBIN solution. It is a measure of the conversion of FIBRINOGEN to FIBRIN, which is prolonged by AFIBRINOGENEMIA, abnormal fibrinogen, or the presence of inhibitory substances, e.g., fibrin-fibrinogen degradation products, or HEPARIN. BATROXOBIN, a thrombin-like enzyme unaffected by the presence of heparin, may be used in place of thrombin.
