Coagulation Profile 1
£46.00
The Coagulation Profile I is a specialised blood clotting test that assesses how effectively your blood forms clots and helps identify potential bleeding or clotting disorders. Commonly used before surgery, during anticoagulant treatment, or when investigating unexplained bruising or bleeding, this profile provides important information about key clotting pathways and overall coagulation function. Available at Medical Diagnosis Victoria (MDX Victoria) in London, with rapid results typically available within 4 hours.
Coagulation Profile I
This profile evaluates how well your blood clots and helps identify potential bleeding or clotting problems. By measuring specific clotting pathways, it provides vital information for detecting disorders, monitoring medications, or assessing risk before surgery.

What Is Included?
This profile provides a comprehensive evaluation of the primary pathways responsible for healthy blood coagulation.
Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time
The aPTT test measures the time it takes for your blood to form a clot through the intrinsic pathway.
Detecting specific bleeding disorders, assessing pre-surgical risk, or monitoring heparin therapy.
Prothrombin Time & INR
PT and INR assess the extrinsic clotting pathway. INR provides a standardised ratio of your PT measurement.
Monitoring oral anticoagulant therapy such as Warfarin, and evaluating liver function capabilities.
Systemic Application
These metrics are vital for assessing how fast your blood can respond to internal or external injury.
Providing doctors with baseline data to prevent excessive bleeding or dangerous clot formations.
Understanding PT, INR and aPTT
Blood clotting is a complex cascade requiring multiple proteins called factors. The aPTT and PT tests examine different parts of this cascade. If either test takes longer than normal, it may indicate a missing or defective factor, liver issues, or the active effect of blood-thinning medications. The INR is a calculation based on the PT result, helping standardised tracking for patients globally.
How To Read Your Laboratory Results
Your results will list your values alongside standard reference ranges. If a result falls outside the range, it is noted for review. Important: A single out-of-range value does not automatically indicate a medical problem. Results must be assessed in conjunction with your medical history and clinical examination.
Results Timeline: Profile metrics are typically available within 4 hours. Once your results are ready, they will be securely shared with you.
Need Help? Private GP Consultations
If you have questions about your coagulation results, we offer Private GP consultations. A doctor can review your report, explain what the numbers mean for your bleeding risk or medication efficacy, and discuss the best next steps for management.
