CLOTTING PROFILE 2

Prothrombin Time This test measures the time it takes for blood to clot.

Blood clotting requires vitamin K and a protein made by the liver. Liver cell damage and bile flow obstruction can both interfere with proper blood clotting.

An equivalent measure sometimes used is the Kaolin Cephalin Clotting Time (KCCT).

Thrombin Time This test measures the amount of time it takes blood to clot when thrombin is added to a sample of blood. If blood does not clot immediately, a fibrinogen deficiency is present. If a patient is receiving heparin, a substance called reptilase derived from snake venom is used to substitute for the thrombin time test. The thrombin time is used to diagnose bleeding disorders and to assess the effectiveness of fibrinolytic therapy.
