Abstract: There is increasing interest in thrombin generation, and the endogenous thrombin potential (ETP) may have a closer relationship with a clinical phenotype of bleeding or thrombosis than traditional laboratory tests. The fluorogenic calibrated automated thrombin generation test with dedicated software (Synapse B.V.,Maastricht, TheNetherlands) calculates thrombin generation of a sample by comparing fluorescent activity in the test sample with the fluorescent activity of a non-clotting calibrator with a known concentration of thrombin activity measured in parallel.
