A Coagulation Profile is a series of blood tests that assess the blood's ability to clot properly. This profile includes tests such as Prothrombin Time (PT), Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (aPTT), International Normalized Ratio (INR), and Fibrinogen levels. These tests help diagnose bleeding disorders, monitor anticoagulant therapy, and evaluate the risk of excessive bleeding or clotting during surgery. Abnormal results may indicate conditions such as hemophilia, liver disease, vitamin K deficiency, or the presence of clotting disorders like deep vein thrombosis. Accurate assessment through a Coagulation Profile is crucial for managing bleeding risks and ensuring proper treatment.
The Coagulation Profile Test is a comprehensive blood test that evaluates the body's ability to form blood clots and control bleeding. It measures various clotting factors, platelet function, and fibrinolysis (clot breakdown). This test is crucial for diagnosing bleeding disorders, clotting abnormalities, liver diseases, and monitoring anticoagulant therapy.
Doctors recommend this test for:
Unexplained bleeding, easy bruising, or prolonged wound healing
Pre-surgical screening to assess bleeding risk
Liver disease evaluation (as the liver produces clotting factors)
Diagnosing clotting disorders like Hemophilia or von Willebrand disease
Monitoring blood thinners like Warfarin or Heparin
Detecting conditions like Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and Pulmonary Embolism (PE)
Sample Type: Blood (collected in a citrate tube)
Reporting Time: 4 to 24 hours (depending on lab processing)
The Coagulation Profile Test provides essential insights into blood clotting function and helps doctors diagnose and manage bleeding and clotting disorders effectively.
