Andreas Calatzis: Clot Retraction and Lysis in Viscoelastometry Explained
Andreas Calatzis, Managing Director of Eonis GmbH and Dynabyte GmbH, shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article by Anikó Smudla et al., published in Diagnostics, adding:
”Our article on ‘physiological lysis’ in viscoelastometry is online.
The article challenges the interpretation of a low maximum lysis in viscoelastometry as ‘hypofibrinolysis’ and attributes this phenomenon to low clot retraction.
This distinction is clinically relevant because fibrinolysis is mediated by plasmatic factors, whereas clot retraction is a cellular, platelet-dependent process.
The article is the first publication using the new Apiro reagents, and the first study from the clinical study program at the Semmelweis University in Budapest.
You find the article using the link, it is open access.”
