A clotting screen helps diagnose and monitor various bleeding disorders and clotting disorders. Includes D-Dimer.
This test assesses your blood's clotting function. It measures parameters like clotting time, clotting factors, fibrinogen, INR, prothrombin ratio, prothrombin time, and D-dimer. This helps diagnose clotting disorders, monitor anticoagulant therapy, and evaluate liver and kidney function related to coagulation. It's important for identifying potential bleeding or clotting problems. The test can help your doctor make informed decisions about your treatment.

Who Is This For?
People taking blood-thinning medications (warfarin, heparin) who need regular monitoring. Anyone with unexplained bruising, prolonged bleeding, or a history of blood clots. Women with recurrent miscarriages, which can be caused by clotting disorders. People with a family history of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism.
What's Included
Preparation Required
Fasting for 10–12 hours before your appointment is recommended for accurate results (water is fine). Avoid alcohol for 24 hours and intense exercise for 12 hours before the blood draw. Morning appointments are ideal for consistent hormone and glucose readings. The blood draw typically takes 5–10 minutes.
Biomarkers Tested
6An enzyme found in the liver, heart, and muscles. While less liver-specific than ALT, elevated AST can indicate liver damage, heart attack, or muscle injury. The AST/ALT ratio helps distinguish between different liver conditions.
Activated partial thromboplastin time ratio — measures how long it takes blood to clot through the intrinsic pathway. Used to monitor heparin therapy and detect clotting factor deficiencies or lupus anticoagulant.
A protein essential for blood clotting that also serves as an inflammation marker. Elevated fibrinogen increases blood viscosity and clot risk, contributing to cardiovascular disease independent of cholesterol levels.
Ratio of the patient's prothrombin time (PT) to a control PT.
Measures the time it takes for blood plasma to clot after adding a tissue factor that activates the extrinsic pathway of coagulation.
A protein fragment released when blood clots dissolve. Elevated D-dimer indicates recent or ongoing clot formation and breakdown. Primarily used to rule out deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.
