Effective Tuesday, December 11 at 10:00 a.m., please be sure to verify the new ranges when administering or ordering argatroban/heparin infusions. 

Effective Tuesday, December 11 at 10:00 a.m., all UCLA Laboratories are upgrading the instruments that perform coagulation tests. The most important clinical implication is that the therapeutic range for unfractionated heparin and argotroban, will be considerably higher when measured by aPTT.  

Clinicians: Please verify the new ranges when administering or ordering argatroban/heparin infusions. See the tip sheet below for details about this change.
