Mixing tests in coagulation studies allow the laboratory to correctly differentiate factor deficiency from inhibitors as the cause of a prolonged clotting time. This is important in terms of subsequent laboratory follow-up and clinical patient management. In this chapter, a suggested method of performing mixing tests is given, with procedures applying two different formulas for interpretation, the percent correction and the index of circulating anticoagulant.
