Calibrated automated thrombogram

Add links
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The calibrated automated thrombogram (CAT or CT) is a thrombin generation assay (TGA) and global coagulation assay (GCA) which can be used as a coagulation test to assess thrombotic risk.[1][2] It is the most widely used TGA.[3] The CAT is a semi-automated test performed in a 96-well plate and requires specialized technologists to be performed.[3] As a result, it has seen low implementation in routine laboratories and has been more limited to research settings.[3][4] Lack of standardization with the CAT has also led to difficulties in study-to-study comparisons in research.[3][5] However, efforts have recently been made towards standardization of the assay.[5][6][7][8] An example of a specific commercial CAT is the Thrombinoscope by Thrombinoscope BV (now owned by Diagnostica Stago).[9]

The CAT can be used to measure thrombogram parameters such as the endogenous thrombin potential (ETP)[2][10] and to assess activated protein C resistance (APCR).[5] The CAT ETP-based APC resistance test is especially sensitive to estrogen-induced procoagulation, such as with combined oral contraceptives.[2][5][11]

In 2018, a commercial fully-automated TGA system and alternative to the CAT called the ST Genesia debuted.[3] It has been said that this system should allow for more widespread adoption of TGAs in clinical laboratories.[3][12] The ST Genesia system also shows improved reproducibility compared to the CAT.[3]
