The Coagulation Profile is a set of tests specifically designed to evaluate the blood’s ability to clot effectively. Blood clotting, or coagulation, is a complex process that is vital for wound healing and preventing excessive bleeding. The coagulation profile helps assess the various components of this process to ensure that the blood’s ability to clot is within a healthy range.

Key Tests:

The Coagulation Profile typically includes the measurement of several key parameters, such as:

• Prothrombin Time (PT): PT measures the time it takes for the blood to clot and is used to assess the function of certain clotting factors.

• Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT): APTT evaluates the function of other clotting factors and is important for diagnosing bleeding disorders.

• International Normalized Ratio (INR): INR is a standardized way to report PT results, particularly when monitoring patients on anticoagulant therapy.

• Fibrinogen: Fibrinogen is a protein necessary for clot formation. Low or high levels can indicate various health conditions.

Our Coagulation Profile holds significance for several reasons:

• Clotting Disorders Diagnosis: It helps diagnose clotting disorders, which can result in excessive bleeding or excessive clot formation.

• Treatment Guidance: The results guide healthcare providers in determining appropriate treatment, including anticoagulant therapy or interventions to manage clotting disorders.

• Preventive Care: Regular coagulation monitoring is essential for individuals with certain medical conditions or those on anticoagulant medication to prevent complications.
