ACT ACT is a blood clotting test that is used primarily to monitor high doses of unfractionated (standard) heparin anticoagulant therapy. Heparin is a blood clotting inhibitor that is usually given either intravenously (IV) or by injection. In moderate doses, heparin is used to help prevent and treat inappropriate blood clot formation (thrombosis or thromboembolism) and is monitored using the partial thromboplastin time (PTT) test or the heparin antifactor Xa test. Monitoring is a vital part of the anticoagulation therapy because a particular quantity of heparin will affect each person a little bit differently. If the amount of heparin administered is insufficient to inhibit the body's clotting system, blood clots may form in blood vessels throughout the body. If there is too much heparin, the patient may experience excessive, even life-threatening, bleeding.

AFB Testing Most samples that are submitted for acid-fast bacilli (AFB) testing are collected because the health practitioner suspects that a person has tuberculosis (TB), a lung infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Mycobacteria are called acid-fast bacilli because they are a group of rod-shaped bacteria (bacilli) that can be seen under the microscope following a staining procedure where the bacteria retain the color of the stain after an acid wash (acid-fast). AFB laboratory tests detect the bacteria in a person's sample and help identify an infection caused by AFB.
