Uncovering Hidden Traces of K <sub>2</sub> <scp>EDTA</scp> Contamination in Citrated Blood Samples: A Novel Approach Using Fibrinogen Clot Waveform Graphs
K<sub>2</sub>EDTA contamination above 17% can significantly alter coagulation test results, potentially leading to diagnostic inaccuracies. Clot waveform analysis, particularly fibrinogen second-derivative graphs, can detect contamination, and proper sample collection guidelines are crucial for accuracy.
