January 31, 2008 - Corgenix Medical Corp. has announced that its AspirinWorks test is available to physicians and other laboratories through Quest Diagnostics Inc., a provider of diagnostic testing, information and services.
AspirinWorks is a simple urine test that determines the effect of aspirin on platelets by measuring the level of thromboxane production (aspirin’s target). The higher the levels of thromboxane, the stickier the blood platelets, and the less impact the aspirin is having. This crucial information allows physicians to individualize a patient’s therapy.
