A<unk>  (TGA) or thrombin<unk>  test (TGT) is a global coagulation<unk>  (GCA) and type of coagulation test which can be used to assess coagulation and thrombotic risk. It is based on the potential of a plasma to generate thrombin over time, following activation of coagulation via addition of phospholipids, tissue factor, and calcium. The results of the TGA can be output as a thrombogram or thrombin<unk>  curve using computer software with calculation of thrombogram parameters. TGAs can be performed with methods like the semi-automated calibrated automated thrombogram (CAT) (2003) or the fully-automated ST Genesia system (2018). TGAs were first used as manual<unk> s in the 1950s and have since become increasingly automated.
