How Is Exposure to Coagulation-Disrupting Toxins Diagnosed?
Diagnosing exposure to toxins that affect coagulation involves a combination of clinical evaluation and laboratory tests. Blood tests such as the prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) can help assess the function of specific coagulation pathways. Additionally, specific assays can measure the activity levels of individual coagulation factors to identify deficiencies or dysfunctions.
