Coagulation Studies

Coagulation studies are blood tests that evaluate how well and how quickly your blood can clot. They help diagnose bleeding disorders, monitor individuals on blood-thinning medications, and assess liver function. Common tests include the Prothrombin Time (PT), which measures the time it takes for blood to clot, and the Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (aPTT). Results can help doctors identify conditions that may lead to excessive bleeding or clotting, guiding appropriate treatment to manage these risks effectively.
