Coagulation tests assess your blood's ability to clot properly and are vital in diagnosing various conditions such as bleeding disorders or assessing medication effectiveness like warfarin.

💡 Prothrombin Time (PT) evaluates the extrinsic pathway, essential in forming blood clots.
💡 Partial Thromboplastin Time (PTT) measures the intrinsic pathway, necessary for clot formation within blood vessels.
💡 International Normalized Ratio (INR) adjusts PT results for variations between laboratories, ensuring standardized clotting assessment.
💡 D-dimer is a protein fragment found in the blood after the breakdown of a blood clot.
💡 Platelets are small cell fragments that play a crucial role in blood clotting by forming a temporary plug at sites of vascular injury.
💡 APTT is a laboratory test that measures the time it takes for blood to clot through the intrinsic and common coagulation pathways.

From explaining what these tests mean to how they guide treatment decisions, we've got you covered! 🩸
