From
the 2021 Joint Annual Meeting (recorded 6/28/2021)
Presented
by George Fritsma,
MS, MLS(ASCP)
A hemostasis abnormality unmistakably associates with COVID
progression, but what is the abnormality? Platelet activation? Arterial
thrombosis? Sepsis? Hypofibrinolysis? How do we measure? D-dimer? TEG? PLT
count? VWF? ADAMTS13? We apply routine and specialized hemostasis laboratory
assay results to establish a model and to support COVID management.
LEARNING
OBJECTIVES

- Propose the pathophysiology and comorbidities associated with COVID.
