Description
The Coagulation Profile is a comprehensive panel of tests that evaluate the blood’s ability to clot properly. It typically includes Prothrombin Time (PT), International Normalized Ratio (INR), Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (aPTT), and sometimes fibrinogen levels. These tests assess different aspects of the coagulation cascade. The profile is used to diagnose various bleeding disorders, evaluate the risk of excessive bleeding before surgery, and monitor patients on anticoagulant medications like warfarin. It’s also crucial in managing conditions such as liver disease, vitamin K deficiency, and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC).
