- This test measures the time it takes for blood to clot. It is used to evaluate the effectiveness of anticoagulant therapy and diagnose clotting disorders. The INR value standardizes PT results, allowing for consistent interpretation across different laboratories.
- APTT measures the time it takes for blood to clot after specific substances are added to a blood sample. It is used to assess the function of various clotting factors and to monitor patients on heparin therapy.
- This test measures the level of D-dimer, a substance released when a blood clot dissolves. Elevated D-dimer levels can indicate the presence of abnormal clotting activity, such as in conditions like deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE).
