Abstract
Background: In this study, the authors
attempted to determine if there was any effect
of tube filling order on both routine
(prothrombin time [PT], activated partial
thromboplastin time [APTT], and fibrinogen)
and specific coagulation parameters (protein S,
protein C, antithrombin III, factor V Leiden,
plasminogen, and D-dimer).
Methods: Fifty-seven consecutive patients
having coagulation parameters within the
reference range (mean age ±SD, 32.14±5.59
years) were included in the study. In drawing
blood, the first 2 tubes were 3.2% citrated
coagulation tubes. Routine and specific
coagulation parameters were studied on both
tubes, and the results were compared using a
paired sample t-test.
Results: The comparison of all parameters
revealed statistically-insignificant results. The
difference in the levels of protein C between
the 2 tubes approached significance
(P=0.053).
Conclusion: This study has shown some
evidence that tube filling order in healthy
subjects does not play a significant role on
routine and specific coagulation parameters.
