This second edition volume expands on the previous edition with updates about the latest state-of-the-art techniques used in leading hemostasis and thrombosis laboratories for diagnosis and exclusion of hemorrhagic and thrombotic diseases. The chapters in this book are organized into seven parts. Part One provides a general overview on hemostasis and thrombosis, preanalytical issues in testing, and routine hemostasis assays. Part Two covers laboratory testing for thrombophilia, including reviews for activated protein C resistance, protein C, lupus anticoagulant testing, and antiphospholipid antibodies. Part Three addresses monitoring continuous anticoagulant infusions and measuring the effects of oral anti-thrombotic therapy. Part Four talks about heparin induced thrombocytopenia and vaccine induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia. Part Five and Six cover ADAMTS13 activity testing and new information on bleeding disorders such as chromogenic factor VIII assays, measurement of emicizumab, and treatment of hemophilia A and B. Finally, Part Seven discusses global assays, research applications, and postanalytical considerations. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.Cutting-edge and comprehensive, Hemostasis and Thrombosis: Methods and Protocols, Second Edition is a valuable resource for scientists and researchers struggling to identify the appropriate methods for hemostasis and thrombosis testing, or who seek additional expert guidance on such testing.

This collection thoroughly explores the dynamic and ever-developing field of hemostasis and thrombosis diagnostics and research. After an introductory section covering the basics and preanalytical issues, the book continues with in-depth sections that explore how to get the best outcomes from routine coagulation and specialized hemostasis assays, thrombophilia-related techniques, investigations into bleeding disorders, as well as performance of global assays of hemostasis, and finally post-analytical issues in hemostasis and thrombosis testing. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Comprehensive and practical, Hemostasis and Thrombosis: Methods and Protocols serves as an ideal resource for researchers and diagnostic laboratories seeking expert guidance and working to identify the best methodologies to pursue hemostasis and thrombosis testing.
