Interpret, calculate, and state the therapeutic range of the INR
INR = (patient PT ÷ mean lab PT)^ISI
Therapeutic Range : 2.0-3.0
Calculate the MCV, MCH, MCHC given pertinent data
MCV (fL) = hematocrit × 10 ÷ RBCs
MCH (pg) = hemoglobin × 10 ÷ RBCs
MCHC (%) = hemoglobin × 100 ÷ hematocrit
Identify each coagulation factor with its proper name
I : Fibrinogen
II : Prothrombin
III : Tissue factor
IV : Ionic Calcium
V : Labile factor
VII : Stable factor
VIII : Antihemophilic factor
vWF : von Willebrand factor
IX : Christmas factor
X : Stuart-Prower factor
XI : Plasma thromboplastin antecedent
XII : Hageman factor
pre-K : Prekallikrein; Fletcher factor
HMWK : Fitzgerald factor ; High-molecular-weight kininogen
XIII : Fibrin-stabilizing factor (FSF)
PF3 : Platelet factor 3; phospholipids, phosphatidyl-serine
Calculate an absolute lymphocyte count given pertinent data
Lymphocytes(%) × total WBC
Ex. lymphocytes = 39.4%, WBC = 7.1x10^9/L
0.394% × 7.1x10^9/L = 2.8x10^9/L

Distinguish the following laboratory test of Hemostasis as pertaining to principle,
sample requirements, reagents used, purpose of the tests, interpretation of
results: PFA-100
Principle : Platelet Function Assay; whole blood passes through cartridges until
activation by agonist causes occlusion generating Closure Time (CT)
Sample requirements : 800 μL whole blood per cartridge
