Coagulation Profile II - (£80)

The Coagulation Profile II Test is a comprehensive blood test that evaluates how effectively your blood clots. This panel helps identify abnormalities in the clotting process, which is vital for diagnosing bleeding tendencies or thrombotic (clotting) conditions.

Who Should Consider This Test?

This test is ideal for individuals who:

• Experience frequent or unexplained bruising
• Suffer from heavy bleeding after minor cuts or injuries
• Are undergoing anticoagulant (blood thinning) treatment
• Have a personal or family history of bleeding or clotting disorders
• Require pre-operative blood assessments

It is also commonly used to monitor patients on Warfarin, Heparin, or other blood-thinning medications.

What’s Included in the Coagulation Profile II?

This blood test measures several critical components of your clotting system:

• Prothrombin Time (PT) & INR
  Assesses how long it takes your blood to clot. INR (International Normalized Ratio) ensures results are consistent and useful for managing anticoagulant dosage.
• Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (aPTT)
  Evaluates the internal pathway of blood clotting. It is essential for detecting certain clotting factor deficiencies or the presence of inhibitors.
• Fibrinogen Level
  Measures the concentration of fibrinogen – a protein crucial for forming clots. Low levels can indicate bleeding risk, while high levels may signal an increased chance of thrombosis.

When Should You Get Tested?

You may need this test if you:

• Show signs of unexplained bleeding or clotting
• Are starting or currently on blood thinner medications
• Are scheduled for major surgery
• Have a known coagulation disorder

This test is also recommended during routine monitoring of treatment efficacy in patients with known clotting conditions.

Do I Need to Fast?

No fasting is required for this test. You can eat and drink normally unless your healthcare provider advises otherwise.

Benefits of the Coagulation Profile II Test

• Offers early detection of bleeding and clotting abnormalities
• Supports safe medication management for those on anticoagulants
• Provides essential insights before surgeries or invasive procedures
• Helps in the ongoing monitoring of diagnosed coagulation disorders
