Abstract

Laboratory diagnosis of hemorrhagic and thrombotic diseases, especially cross-mixing tests, was developed because the recent progress in studies to solve the practical problem of cross-mixing tests has been remarkable in Japan; however, this information was not well presented to clinical laboratory technologists and hospital doctors. Therefore, three specialists have contributed articles on problems of solving clinical and laboratory diagnoses of anti-phospholipid syndrome and acquired hemophilia, both from the clinical setting. These articles show new concrete approaches to carry out blood coagulation tests and their laboratory information.
