Understanding Coagulation Profile (PT/INR & aPTT) in New Delhi


What is Coagulation Profile (PT/INR & aPTT) in New Delhi?

A Coagulation Profile (PT/INR & aPTT), incorporating prothrombin time international normalized ratio (PT/INR) and activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (aPTT) test, is a comprehensive blood test that assesses the body's ability to form blood clots. This profile helps diagnose bleeding disorders, such as hemophilia, and monitor the effects of anticoagulant medications.

What does Coagulation Profile (PT/INR & aPTT) measure?

Contains 2 tests

A Coagulation Profile (PT/INR & aPTT) includes blood tests that provide information about the blood's clotting ability. This profile measures prothrombin time international normalized ratio (PT/INR) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT). 

The Prothrombin Time (PT) and aPTT tests measure how long the blood takes to clot. Precisely, they assess the factors in the blood that help initiate the clotting process. The INR is a standardized interpretation of the PT results. It is calculated to ensure consistency in interpreting PT values across different laboratories and testing methods. The INR is essential when monitoring patients on anticoagulant medications like warfarin. The INR helps adjust medication dosages to maintain blood clotting within a therapeutic range. The aPTT test is significant when monitoring patients on anticoagulant medications, such as heparin.

PT INR (Prothrombin Time)

A PT INR (Prothrombin Time) test measures the Prothrombin Time (PT) and reports it as the International Normalized Ratio (INR). The PT measures how long it takes for blood to clot. Specifically, it assesses the factors in the blood that help initiate the clotting process. The INR is a standardized interpretation of the PT results. It is calculated to ensure consistency in interpreting PT values across different laboratories and testing methods. It is particularly important when monitoring patients on anticoagulant medications, such as warfarin. The INR helps adjust medication dosages to maintain blood clotting within a therapeutic range.

Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time

Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time test measures the time taken by the blood to form a clot. In other words, it is a screening test that helps evaluate a person’s ability to form blood clots. The test analyzes the amount and the function of specific proteins in the blood called coagulation or clotting factors, which are an essential part of blood clot formation.

Blood clotting or coagulation occurs through a series of cascade reactions due to the activation of clotting factors. There are a total of thirteen clotting factors within our bodies that aid in clot formation, and for healthy clot formation, all clotting factors need to be in the right balance. Any imbalance of these factors can lead to a blood clotting disorder.

Answers to Patient Concerns & Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Coagulation Profile (PT/INR & aPTT) in New Delhi


Frequently Asked Questions about Coagulation Profile (PT/INR & aPTT) in New Delhi

Q. How is the blood sample taken?

The healthcare provider takes a blood sample from the arm. The site from where the blood is to be withdrawn is cleaned with a swab of rubbing alcohol. This is then followed by inserting a small needle which has a tube attached to it for collecting blood. Once sufficient blood for analysis is withdrawn, the needle is removed. The site is then covered with a gauze pad.

Q. What other tests can be advised by the doctor in case of abnormal coagulation profile?

In case of abnormal coagulation profile, the doctor can advise platelet count, thrombin time, fibrinogen testing, coagulation factor tests, lupus anticoagulant testing, and test for von Willebrand factor.

Q. Is there any risk associated with the blood sample withdrawal procedure?

As such, there is no risk, but in a few cases, bruising, bleeding, and infection at the puncture site may be seen. In very few cases, there can be swelling of the vein after the blood is withdrawn.
