Report: Contact us to know the TAT.
Usage: Prothrombin time measures the time it takes for plasma to clot when exposed to tissue factors. Since PT comprises reactions of coagulation that occur in tissue injury & common pathways of coagulation, deficiencies in the activity of Factors II, V, VII, X, or fibrinogen may prolong the PT. INR standardizes the reporting of PT values in Warfarin anticoagulated patients.
