Blood Clotting Tests

Blood clotting tests are laboratory procedures that evaluate how well your blood forms clots to prevent excessive bleeding or abnormal clot formation. They measure the time it takes for blood to clot and assess the function of various clotting factors, helping diagnose bleeding disorders or blood clot risks. Common tests include Prothrombin Time (PT), activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (aPTT), and INR. These results guide medical decisions for conditions like bleeding tendencies, anticoagulant therapy, or clotting disorders, ensuring appropriate management and treatment safety.
