Who it's for

When clotting needs checking

How well your blood clots matters for surgery, for medication safety and for getting to the bottom of unexplained bruising. This screen is a sensible first step if you recognise any of these.

On warfarin

Warfarin therapy needs regular INR monitoring to keep the dose safe and effective.

Easy bruising or bleeding

Unexplained bruising, nosebleeds or prolonged bleeding from minor cuts.

Liver disease

The liver makes most clotting factors, so liver problems can prolong clotting.

Before surgery

A baseline clotting check ahead of a planned procedure.

Family history

A family history of bleeding disorders you'd like to investigate.

Medication review

Reassurance and a clear read on your clotting while on anticoagulants.

What we check

2 markers across 4 areas

This focused screen reports the clotting measures that matter most — from a single blood draw.

Prothrombin time (PT)

Measures how many seconds your blood takes to clot via the extrinsic pathway.

1 marker

INR

A standardised ratio derived from PT, used worldwide to monitor warfarin safely.

Derived

Bleeding risk

Together, PT and INR help flag clotting-factor deficiency, vitamin K deficiency or over-anticoagulation.

Assessed

Warfarin monitoring

A convenient, clinician-reviewed INR check without waiting for a clinic appointment.

Clotting

Prothrombin Time (PT)International Normalised Ratio (INR)

A focused coagulation screen measuring prothrombin time (PT) and the international normalised ratio (INR). This is a screening investigation and does not replace a clinical diagnosis — every result is reviewed by a clinician. If you take warfarin, continue your usual dose unless advised otherwise by your prescriber.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions, answered

What does a coagulation screen measure?
This screen measures your prothrombin time (PT) and the international normalised ratio (INR) — two closely related measures of how quickly your blood clots. They can help with warfarin monitoring and the investigation of unexplained bleeding or bruising. A clinician reviews every result and explains what it means.
Can I use this to monitor my warfarin (INR)?
Yes — INR monitoring is one of the most common reasons people choose this screen. Continue taking your warfarin as prescribed unless your prescriber tells you otherwise, and share the result with whoever manages your anticoagulation. A clinician reviews every result here too.
Do I need to fast before this blood test?
No fasting is required for a coagulation screen.
How long do results take?
We process your sample promptly and contact you as soon as your clinician-reviewed results are ready — turnaround varies by test. Every result is reviewed by a clinician who flags anything outside the expected range with clear guidance.
Do I need a GP referral?
No referral is needed. You can book directly online or by calling 0121 387 3727. Same-week appointments are available 7 days a week, 8am to 8pm.

Understanding your Coagulation Screen results

Each result in your Coagulation Screen is reviewed by a clinician before release. Below is a plain-English guide to the key markers included in this panel.

Key Biomarkers

This panel assesses the key markers relevant to coagulation screen. Each result is reviewed by a clinician who will flag any values outside the expected range for your age and sex.

Reference Ranges

Reference intervals are population-derived and should be interpreted alongside your symptoms and clinical history — a result within range does not always exclude pathology, and a mildly out-of-range result may be clinically insignificant in isolation.

Reference ranges vary between laboratories and are influenced by age, sex, and other individual factors. This information is for educational purposes only and does not replace a clinical consultation. The Vesey reviews every result before it is released to you.
