Prothrombin Time / PT-INR

The prothrombin time test measures the time your blood takes to clot. This test is crucial for patients who take blood thinners as it evaluates  both the extrinsic and common pathways of blood coagulation. The test ensures that the medication prevents harmful clots without increasing the risk of excessive bleeding.

Prothrombin Time (PT)

Blood clotting duration is measured through this test. Prolonged PT may indicate:

• Liver disorders
• Vitamin K deficiency
• Use of blood-thinning medication

International Normalized Ratio (INR)

The International Normalized Ratio enables different laboratories to produce comparable PT testing results. INR is crucial in:

• Monitoring warfarin therapy
• Monitoring of effective blood clot prevention against bleeding risks.
• Prevent the formation of blood clots while avoiding bleeding complications.

PT Control & PT Test Details

These include:

• Baseline PT value
• Reference PT value
• Helps in planning surgical procedures, monitoring liver function, or evaluating bleeding disorders

Prothrombin Time / PT test is recommended for:

• Patients on anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin)
• Those with liver disease
• People who have bleeding problems and planning to undergo surgical procedures.
