Coagulation Profile (PT/INR & aPTT) near me in Dombivli
A Coagulation Profile (PT/INR & aPTT) is a blood test that evaluates the clotting ability of the blood. It typically includes tests such as prothrombin time international normalized ratio (PT/INR) and activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (aPTT). These tests assess different aspects of the blood’s ability to clot properly through various pathways. Results from a Coagulation Profile (PT/INR & aPTT) help diagnose and monitor conditions such as bleeding disorders, clotting disorders, liver diseases, and the effectiveness of anticoagulant therapy. This test is available at an affordable price in Dombivli with Tata 1mg Labs.
Your doctor may suggest Coagulation Profile (PT/INR & aPTT) if you have a history of unexplained bleeding or bruising, or before a surgical procedure to evaluate the risk of excessive bleeding. Overnight fasting (8-12 hours) is preferred for this profile. However, drinking water is acceptable. A duly filled coagulation requisition form is mandatory for sample collection. Also, inform the doctor if you are taking medications such as blood thinners, as they may interfere with test results, and your doctor may adjust your dosage or ask you to stop them temporarily before the test.
