The Prothrombin Time (PT) & INR test is a simple blood test that checks how quickly your blood clots, which is very important for your body’s ability to stop bleeding when needed.

Think of it this way: if your blood clots too slowly, you may bleed more than normal. If it clots too quickly, it can form unwanted clots inside the body. This test helps doctors understand if everything is balanced.

What is PT (Prothrombin Time)?

PT measures the time your blood takes to clot.

If the time is longer or shorter than normal, it may indicate a problem with your clotting process.

What is INR?

The International Normalized Ratio is a standardized way of expressing PT results.

Since different labs may have slightly different methods, INR ensures that your results are consistent and comparable anywhere.
