Use
Assessment of patients at high risk of COVID-19-associated thrombotic microangiopathy.
Special Instructions
When ordering this test, ensure that blood collection is performed properly to avoid any issues that may affect test results. Mixing instructions must be followed meticulously to ensure the accuracy of the results. Pay attention to specific collection and storage instructions to maintain test integrity.
Limitations
The von Willebrand Factor (vWF) Antigen test within this profile has been developed and its performance characteristics determined by Labcorp. However, it has not been cleared or approved by the Food and Drug Administration, and its use should be considered with this in mind. The test may not be suitable for detecting all instances of thrombotic microangiopathy, and results should be interpreted in the context of the patient's overall clinical presentation and other supporting tests.
