Coagulation Profile 2

£63.00

The Coagulation Profile II (SP37) is a comprehensive blood clotting test that evaluates your body’s ability to form and regulate blood clots. This profile includes Prothrombin Time (PT), International Normalised Ratio (INR), Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (aPTT), and Fibrinogen levels to assess clotting function, investigate bleeding or clotting disorders, and monitor anticoagulant therapy. Available at Medical Diagnosis Victoria (MDX Victoria) in London, with rapid results typically available within 4 hours.

Coagulation & Blood Clotting

Coagulation Profile II

This profile (SP37) provides a thorough assessment of your blood’s ability to clot. The aPTT test evaluates one clotting pathway, while Prothrombin Time (PT) and INR assess another pathway and are often used to monitor anticoagulant therapy. Fibrinogen, a key clotting protein, is measured to check whether your body has sufficient components for normal clot formation.

Component Index

What Is Included?

This profile evaluates both distinct pathways of the coagulation cascade and the final structural components necessary for normal blood clotting.

Prothrombin Time & INR

Assesses the extrinsic pathway of coagulation, frequently used to monitor the effectiveness of blood-thinning medications like Warfarin.

Prothrombin Time (PT)
INR
Clinical focus:
Monitoring anticoagulant therapy stability and evaluating liver synthesis function.

Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time

Evaluates the intrinsic and common pathways of the coagulation cascade, helping to detect specific bleeding disorders.

aPTT
Clinical focus:
Identifying deficiencies in specific clotting factors and monitoring alternative medical therapies.

Fibrinogen Levels

Measures a key protein synthesised by the liver that is converted into fibrin to form the structural mesh of a blood clot.

Fibrinogen
Clinical focus:
Checking whether your body has sufficient components for normal and stable clot formation.

Understanding Coagulation Pathways

Blood clotting is a complex cascade mechanism. The aPTT test evaluates one clotting pathway, while Prothrombin Time (PT) and INR assess another pathway. By running these alongside fibrinogen measurement, doctors receive a comprehensive overview of how quickly and effectively your blood forms necessary clots.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to fast before the test?
No, there are no special fasting instructions required for the Coagulation Profile II.

How quickly will I get my results?
Your comprehensive results are processed quickly and will be ready within 4 hours of sample collection.

Should I pause my blood thinners before the test?
You should never stop or change anticoagulant medication without explicit instructions from your prescribing doctor. This test is often designed to measure how well those medications are working.

What should I do if my results are abnormal?
If your markers are outside the reference range, we strongly recommend booking a Private GP consultation to review them safely.

Can I walk in, or do I need an appointment?
Walk-ins are welcome at the clinic, but booking a slot online is highly recommended to ensure priority service.

Is the phlebotomy fee included in the price?
No, the £21 phlebotomy service fee is separate and payable directly at the clinic.

Will my results be sent securely?
Yes, your laboratory results will be delivered securely and privately to the email address provided.

Do I need a doctor’s referral for this profile?
No referral is needed. You can book this test independently to investigate your own health parameters.

Most Searched Online Questions About Blood Clotting

What is an INR blood test used for?
It standardises Prothrombin Time results, making it easier for doctors to safely monitor patients on blood-thinning medications.

What does a high aPTT mean?
It indicates that your blood takes longer than usual to clot, which may be due to a bleeding disorder, liver disease, or certain medications.

Why is fibrinogen important?
Fibrinogen is essential for clot formation. Low levels can cause bleeding issues, while high levels may be linked to cardiovascular risk or inflammation.

Can liver problems affect blood clotting?
Yes, the liver produces most of the proteins, known as coagulation factors, needed for blood to clot properly and safely.

Why do I need a coagulation profile before surgery?
Surgeons use it to check whether your blood clots normally, helping reduce the risk of excessive bleeding during or after a procedure.
