[The reference intervals of antithrombin III in population of the Astrakhanskaia oblast at application of automated coagulometers.]

The foreign and national professional societies of laboratory diagnostic recommend to every laboratory to develop own or substantiate available in literature reference intervals for every laboratory index. The reference interval of antithrombin III was established for adult population of the Astrakhanskaia oblast according available standards on automated coagulometers "ACL 9000" (Instrumentation Laboratory, USA) and "STA Compact" (Diagnostica Stago, France). The received data were compared with data present in instructions to reactive kits for detection of antithrombin III and reference literature. The reference interval AT III in adult population of the Astrakhanskaia oblast has no dependencies on gender and age and can be compared with reference intervals mentioned in instructions to reactive kits for detection of activity of AT III of firms producers Instrumentation Laboratory (USA) and Diagnostica Stago (France) in the reference literature. The reference intervals AT III mentioned in instructions to reactive kits produced by Instrumentation Laboratory (USA) and Diagnostica Stago (France) and in reference literature can be applied for interpretation of results of detection of activity of AT III by automated coagulometers "ACL 9000" (Instrumentation Laboratory, USA) and "STA Compact" (Diagnostica Stago, France) in adult population of the Astrakhanskaia oblast.
