Stability:

Ambient:  4 HOURS

Turnaround Time (TAT):

STAT: 1 HOUR

Routine: 4 HOURS

Test Availability:

24 hours a day / 7 days a week

Performing Laboratory Section:

HEMATOLOGY / UMC MAIN LABORATORY

Reference Interval:

194 - 418 PRU

Interpretive Data:

ADP
The PRU thresholds that provide the best prediction of percent inhibition above or below thresholds of 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50% and 60% are shown below. PRU results <194 are indicative of P2Y12 receptor blockage by clopidogrel.
 

PRU correlation to %Inhibition:
259 correlates to 10% inhibition   
237 correlates to 20% inhibition
214 correlates to 30% inhibition
187 correlates to 40% inhibition
159 correlates to 50% inhibition
131 correlates to 60% inhibition
