Coagulation tests, which are PT, aPTT, and INR, are vital blood tests used to assess the efficiency of blood clots.
These are critical tests to be carried out for patients on anticoagulant therapy. Over 10 million tests are carried out every year. The test is highly utilised for diagnising disorders in clotting, drugs causing blood thinning, such as warfarin, and assessing the functioning of the liver.
Coagulation tests help diagnose blood disorders, such as haemophilia or von Willebrand disease, or problems that affect blood clotting within blood vessels .

Most coagulation tests do not require fasting. However, your healthcare provider may ask you to avoid certain medications that can affect clotting, such as blood thinners before the test. Inform your doctor about any medications or supplements you are taking.
A blood sample will be taken from a vein, usually in your arm. This process typically takes only a few minutes. To reduce any discomfort, relax your arm and focus on breathing. Let your healthcare provider know if you have any concerns about blood draws, such as fainting or a fear of needles.
Your results will typically be available within a day or two. For urgent cases, they can be expedited. Based on your results, your healthcare provider may adjust any medications (especially blood thinners) or order further testing.
