What labs are used to determine the therapeutic range of Coumadin?
Answer: Many clinical conditions which results in the elevated range of INR such as liver function condition, hypothyroidism, having poor diet or lack of nutrients, etc. The normal therapeutic range of coumadin is 2.0 to 3.0.
PT ( prothrombin test) is done to check the clotting time as it determines that how quickly the blood gets clotted. Then the other test can be done is the INR test which results into the activities of the blood clots.
Tris buffers are commonly used in biochemistry labs because they buffer within the physiological range of 7.1 to 9.1 due to a pKa of 8.1. To demonstrate the buffering capacity of Tris buffer, your biochemistry lab teaching assistant has given you one liter of a 0.1 M Tris buffer at pH 7.4. Add 2 mL of 1M HCl to this buffer and calculate what the new pH will be.
