Activated Partial Prothrombin Time Test Overview
The Prothrombin Time (PT) test is a blood test that measures how long it takes your blood to form a clot. It assesses the efficiency of a specific part of your clotting cascade, involving vitamin K-dependent clotting factors. One such factor is prothrombin, a protein produced by your liver. The PT test indirectly evaluates the functionality of prothrombin and other clotting factors involved in this specific pathway. Doctors perform this test to monitor blood-thinning medications like warfarin, diagnose potential bleeding or clotting disorders, and assess liver function (as the liver produces clotting factors).
