Good afternoon George! Are there any labs out there using the ecarin clotting time to test for dabigatran level? We know it doesn’t “need” to be monitored, but we also realize that there will be practitioners looking for such information. I have trialed the ECA-T kit from Diagnostica Stago with Aniara calibrators/controls. Thanks! Crystal Azevedo.
Hi, Crystal. I hope this post will attract information from our participants. Reference labs Esoterix, Machaon, and Quest offer the ECT, I don’t see it on the ARUP or Blood Center of Wisconsin menu, and I don’t know how many hospital labs are offering it. If anyone is doing it, please select the comment button below and let us know.
