Overview

What is TT?

The thrombin time (TT) test may be done to investigate a possible bleeding disorder or inappropriate blood clot formation. TT measures how long the blood's plasma takes to form a clot.

This test is prescribed by the doctor in case of excessive bleeding disorders, to assess clotting ability before surgery and monitor anticoagulant therapy.
