Test Details
- • The clotting indicator is an essential tool for evaluating the body’s clotting and clot breakdown processes.
- • When a clot forms in the blood vessels and the body starts breaking it down, specific substances are released that can be measured in the blood.
- • This test is used to detect abnormal clotting, monitor the progression of clot-related diseases, and estimate the risk of complications such as venous obstruction or pulmonary embolism.
- • It also helps track the effectiveness of anticoagulant treatments and is an important part of assessing acute or chronic conditions affecting clotting.
- • The test provides precise information for clinicians to make informed decisions regarding treatment and follow-up.
