What is Prothrombin time, PT/INR ?
Prothrombin Time (PT) measures the time it takes for blood to clot, providing insights into clotting disorders or the efficacy of anticoagulation treatments like warfarin. The International Normalized Ratio (INR) standardizes PT results to account for differences in testing methods across labs. Together, PT/INR values help monitor patients with clotting disorders or those on blood thinners, making accurate reporting vital for effective treatment.
