Endogenous thrombin potential [Area under the curve] in Platelet poor plasma by Chromogenic method

ETP PPP Chro-AUC

Definition

  • The endogenous thrombin potential is the area under the curve of a thrombin generation test (TGT). It represents thrombin's total enzyme activity and is the most predictive of bleeding and/or thrombosis risk out of all the TGT measurements. Decreased ETP is associated with bleeding tendencies, while increased ETP is associated with thrombosis. [PMID: 21262433]
