Coagulation Profile (PT/INR & aPTT) near me in Hyderabad
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 Hyderabad 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.
Understanding Coagulation Profile (PT/INR & aPTT)
Clotting or coagulation factors are the proteins found in the blood that help stop bleeding when there is a wound or cut. A Coagulation Profile (PT/INR & aPTT) is used to assess the clotting function of the blood and determine if there is a problem with any of your clotting factors. Your doctor may suggest this test if you have symptoms of bleeding or clotting disorders, such as unexplained heavy bleeding, easy bruising, unusual heavy nose bleeds, leg swelling, redness on the legs, or chest pain. This test can also help check for clotting function before a scheduled surgery.
A Coagulation Profile (PT/INR & aPTT), including PT/INR and aPTT tests, is used to assess the risk of bleeding or clotting disorders, such as hemophilia, deep vein thrombosis, vitamin K deficiency, monitor anticoagulant therapy, and evaluate liver function. A PT/INR test helps measure how long it takes for blood to clot. The International Normalized Ratio (INR) is a standardized method used to interpret test results consistently. This test is used primarily to monitor the effectiveness of anticoagulant medications, such as warfarin, and assess liver function. The aPTT test especially helps evaluate the effectiveness of anticoagulant medications, such as heparin.
Usually, overnight fasting (8-12 hours) is preferred before a Coagulation Profile (PT/INR & aPTT), and a duly filled coagulation requisition form is mandatory for sample collection. If you take anticoagulant medication, giving the testing sample before the daily dose is taken is advised. 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 dose or stop them temporarily before the test.
Test result ranges are approximate and may differ slightly between labs depending on the methodology and laboratory guidelines. Talk to your doctor about your specific test results. Narrate your complete medical and family history to help the doctor correlate your clinical and laboratory findings. The test results will help them prevent, manage, and treat coagulation-related health issues.
What does Coagulation Profile (PT/INR & aPTT) measure?
Contains 2 testsA 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.
The PT INR (Prothrombin Time with INR) 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.

An 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.
