Results for tag: "Warfarin Sensitivity Test"

The Warfarin Sensitivity Test is a type of In Vitro Diagnostics (IVD) used to measure the sensitivity of a patient to the anticoagulant drug Warfarin. Warfarin is commonly prescribed to reduce the risk of stroke and other cardiovascular events. The Warfarin Sensitivity Test is used to determine the correct dosage of Warfarin for a patient, as the drug has a narrow therapeutic range and can cause serious side effects if taken in too high or too low of a dose. The test measures the patient's genetic variation in the CYP2C9 and VKORC1 genes, which are responsible for metabolizing Warfarin. The Warfarin Sensitivity Test market is a growing segment of the IVD industry, as the test is becoming increasingly important for patient safety and efficacy. The test is used in both clinical and home settings, and is becoming more widely available as technology advances. Some companies in the Warfarin Sensitivity Test market include Roche Diagnostics, Abbott Laboratories, Siemens Healthineers, and Thermo Fisher Scientific. Show Less Read more
