Coagulation Testing in Kurukshetra — Assessing Bleeding and Clotting Function

Problems with the body's clotting system cause either excessive bleeding or dangerous clotting (thrombosis). Coagulation tests precisely measure the blood's clotting ability — essential before surgery, for patients on blood thinners, and when investigating unexplained bleeding.

Quick Facts

Pre-Surgical EssentialCoagulation tests are standard before any surgical procedure to assess bleeding risk
Warfarin MonitoringPT/INR is the essential test for patients on warfarin anticoagulation
DVT InvestigationD-dimer is a key test in suspected deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism
Fast ResultsPT/INR and APTT results within hours — essential for urgent management
Tests We Perform

Coagulation Tests Available

Comprehensive assessment of the bleeding and clotting system.

⏱️
Prothrombin Time (PT) & INR

Measures clotting via the extrinsic pathway. INR standardises the result across laboratories. Essential for monitoring warfarin therapy and investigating unexplained bleeding or liver disease.

⏲️
APTT (Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time)

Measures clotting via the intrinsic pathway. Used in haemophilia A and B investigation and for monitoring heparin anticoagulation therapy.

🩸
Bleeding Time & Clotting Time

Basic screening tests for overall haemostatic function. Often ordered as part of pre-operative assessment.

🔍
D-Dimer

Breakdown product of blood clots. Elevated in deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), and DIC. A normal D-dimer effectively rules out active clotting in most clinical scenarios.

🧪
Fibrinogen

Measures the main clotting protein. Important in DIC (Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation), liver disease, and post-surgical monitoring.

🔬
Platelet Function (BT)

Assesses how well platelets function — relevant when platelet count is normal but bleeding symptoms are present.

When Are These Tests Needed?

Common Clinical Indications

🏥
Before surgery

Bleeding risk assessment is standard before any procedure. PT, APTT, and platelet count are the minimum pre-operative screen

💊
Patients on blood thinners

Warfarin requires regular INR monitoring to maintain the therapeutic range. Too low: clotting risk. Too high: bleeding risk

🦵
Suspected DVT or clot

D-dimer is the first-line test when a blood clot in the leg or lung is suspected. A normal result makes active clotting very unlikely

💔
Unexplained bleeding or bruising

Heavy periods, frequent nosebleeds, or easy bruising may indicate a clotting or platelet disorder — warranting full coagulation screen

FAQs

Coagulation — Common Questions

How often do I need my INR checked if I am on warfarin?
+
The frequency depends on how stable your INR has been. Initially, INR is checked every few days. Once stable, every 4–8 weeks is typical. If your dose changes, more frequent monitoring is needed. Your doctor will advise — and we can provide prompt results to support timely dose adjustments.
What does an elevated D-dimer mean?
+
An elevated D-dimer indicates that clotting and clot breakdown are occurring somewhere in the body. It is not specific — many conditions raise D-dimer including infection, inflammation, pregnancy, and recent surgery. A clinical assessment alongside the D-dimer result is needed to determine the significance.
Can I eat before a coagulation test?
+
Most coagulation tests do not require fasting. PT/INR, APTT, and D-dimer can be done at any time. We will confirm any specific requirements when you book.
