Prothrombin Time INR Test (PT INR Test)

The Prothrombin Time (PT) International Normalized Ratio (INR) test, commonly known as the PT INR test, is a blood test offered by healthcare nt sickcare Medical Laboratory. This test is used to evaluate blood clotting time and assess the effectiveness of certain blood-thinning medications.

The PT INR test measures the time it takes for blood to clot and compares it to a standard time to determine the INR value. The INR value is used to monitor and adjust the dosage of blood-thinning medications such as warfarin, which are used to prevent blood clots.

During the PT INR test, a small sample of blood is taken from a vein in your arm and sent to our laboratory for analysis. Results are typically available within a few hours.

If your PT INR test results show that your blood is taking too long to clot, your healthcare provider may adjust your medication dosage to prevent bleeding. If your blood is clotting too quickly, your healthcare provider may adjust your medication dosage to prevent clotting.

At healthcare nt sickcare Medical Laboratory, we offer PT INR testing services to evaluate blood clotting time and assess the effectiveness of certain blood-thinning medications. Book your PT INR test today and take an important step towards maintaining good health.
