Coagulation Profile I
The Coagulation Profile I is a specialized blood test that evaluates the blood’s ability to clot effectively. It measures key aspects of the coagulation system to help diagnose bleeding disorders, monitor anticoagulant therapy, and assess liver function. This profile is essential for identifying issues with blood clotting and guiding appropriate medical interventions.
What is the Coagulation Profile I?
Indications for Testing
This test is recommended for individuals with symptoms of abnormal bleeding or clotting, such as easy bruising, frequent nosebleeds, heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding, or excessive bleeding after injury or surgery. It is also commonly used to monitor anticoagulant treatment, assess liver disease, and evaluate bleeding risk before surgical procedures. What Does It Measure? The Coagulation Profile I includes:- Prothrombin Time (PT) / International Normalized Ratio (INR): Assesses how long blood takes to clot and is essential for monitoring warfarin therapy and liver function.
- Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (aPTT): Evaluates the intrinsic clotting pathway and helps identify clotting factor deficiencies or inhibitors.
- Fibrinogen: Measures the level of fibrinogen, a key protein needed for clot formation. Abnormal levels may indicate bleeding disorders, inflammation, or liver disease.
Who Should Take This Test?
Ideal for individuals with suspected bleeding disorders, those on anticoagulant medications, patients with liver conditions, or anyone requiring pre-operative clotting assessment.Fasting Requirements
No fasting is required. However, avoiding alcohol and informing your healthcare provider about current medications is recommended, as some drugs may affect test results.- 1You want clear, objective information about your health — not guesswork

How to prepare
Sample Timing
Attend between 7am and 12pm where possible. Wait until any illness has fully resolved. Avoid intense exercise for 24–48 hours beforehand, as this can affect certain markers.
Fasting & Hydration
Fasting is not always required, but some tests may recommend it. If fasting is advised, avoid food for 8–12 hours and drink water only. Stay well hydrated for accurate sample collection.
Medications & Supplements
Continue prescribed medications unless advised otherwise. Avoid vitamin, mineral, or biotin supplements for at least 24–48 hours before your test, as these can interfere with results.
Hormones & Menstrual Cycle
For hormone-related tests, timing within your menstrual cycle may be important. Follow the specific guidance provided in your booking confirmation email.
