title: Quality control in haemostasis.
abstract: Laboratory investigation of the haemostatic system deserves particular procedures in the quality control of analytical variables as well as preanalytical variables. This paper reviews the precautions that have to be taken in the blood prelevement, the transport of the tubes and the performance of the laboratory tests aimed to investigate the haemostatic system in order to obtain reliable results.
