Coagulation Screen Blood Test
From £164 · Results within 24–48 hours · Open 7 days
About this test
Blood coagulation — the complex enzyme cascade culminating in fibrin clot formation — is essential for haemostasis following vascular injury. Disorders of coagulation lead to either excessive bleeding (hypocoagulable states) or pathological thrombosis (hypercoagulable states). The prothrombin time (PT/INR) assesses the extrinsic and common pathways and is the principal monitoring tool for patients on warfarin therapy. Abnormalities may reflect vitamin K deficiency, liver disease, inherited coagulation factor deficiencies, or consumptive coagulopathy.
Note: Measures prothrombin time (PT) and international normalised ratio (INR).
What this test can detect
- Prolonged PT/INR — indicating vitamin K deficiency, liver disease, warfarin effect, or inherited factor deficiency
- Factor deficiencies — reduced clotting factor activity in the extrinsic pathway
- Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) — consumptive coagulopathy causing concurrent bleeding and thrombosis
- Over-anticoagulation — supratherapeutic INR in warfarin-treated patients
Who should have this test?
- Patients on warfarin therapy requiring INR monitoring
- Individuals with unexplained easy bruising or prolonged bleeding
- Those with liver disease affecting clotting factor synthesis
- Pre-operatively for any planned surgical procedure
- Those with a family history of bleeding disorders
