General Information:
The best time to perform this test is when the patient is free of thrombosis and off all anticoagulants. Patient must not be receiving heparin and should not be receiving Coumadin®. If so, this should be noted on the requisition (heparin or warfarin therapy can affect certain coagulation factors or assays, preclude their performance, or cause spurious results).
