1 Dextran and hydroxyethyl starch interfere with fibrinogen assays. Dextrans fibrinogen beta chain Homo sapiens
2 We studied the haemostatic and volume effects of synthetic plasma substitutes and Ringer"s solution in 48 surgical patients and found that the measured fibrinogen concentrations of patients receiving either dextran or hydroxyethyl starch (HES) were significantly higher than those predicted by the dilutional effects. Dextrans fibrinogen beta chain Homo sapiens
3 We conclude that the results of indirect fibrinogen assays should be interpreted cautiously, when HES or dextran is used for volume replacement. Dextrans fibrinogen beta chain Homo sapiens
