AspirinWorks® 11-Dehydrothromboxane B2 Test with Creatinine
The AspirinWorks® 11-Dehydrothromboxane B2 Test with Creatinine measures urinary levels of 11-dehydrothromboxane B2, a biomarker of platelet activation. This test helps assess the effectiveness of aspirin therapy and detect aspirin resistance. By adjusting for creatinine, it provides an accurate reflection of thromboxane production, supporting cardiovascular risk management and treatment monitoring.

Aspirin (which inhibits platelet cyclo-oxygenase) reduces the risk of thrombosis in cardiovascular disease by impairing platelet function. Patients who do not respond to the platelet inhibitory effects of aspirin are designated as "ASPIRIN RESISTANT". The measurement of 11-DEHYDROTHROMBOXANE B2 in urine (the principal metabolite of platelet cyclo-oxygenase derived thromboxane B2) indicates lack of aspirin responsiveness.
