Influence of Etamsylate on Centrifugation Process: A Clinical Laboratory Case Series
Journal Title: Scholars Academic Journal of Biosciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 9
Abstract
Centrifugation is a routine process performed in the clinical laboratory to separate serum and plasma from whole blood for analyte testing. Drug interaction in laboratory testing is a frequently observed problem. In this study, we have noticed a hemostatic drug, Etamsylate which influences in centrifugation process. In our case series we have elaborated on the difficulty in separation of serum after centrifugation which we noticed in our clinical laboratory in patients who had a positive history of intake of drug Etamsylate for various reasons. We correlated the improvement of serum separation with the levels of Etamsylate in plasma in these patients and have presented our findings in the form of case series report in this study.
