==Tests Evaluating Secondary Haemostasis==

Secondary haemostasis describes the formation of a cross linked fibrin meshwork in the blood clot and is dependent on soluble coagulation factors. Abnormalities in secondary coagulation can occur from insufficient coagulation factors, the presence of inactive coagulation factors or inhibition of factors. The soluble coagulation factors are traditionally divided into the intrinsic, extrinsic and common pathways, as described in the introduction.
