Prothrombin Time (PT/INR) Test Overview

The Prothrombin Time (PT/INR) test is the most commonly used measure to determine how long it takes for your blood to clot. This test is mostly recommended to confirm the diagnosis of bleeding disorders or to monitor people on blood-thinning treatments like warfarin. The PT part of the test checks how well certain pathways in your blood form clots, with results given in seconds. Since the results are standardised by the International Normalised Ratio (INR), doctors can understand them consistently, no matter where the test is done.
