coagulation profile

What are the Components of a Coagulation Profile?

The primary components of a coagulation profile include:
- [Prothrombin Time (PT)](https://): Measures the time it takes for blood to clot, assessing the extrinsic and common pathways of coagulation.
- [Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (aPTT)](https://): Evaluates the intrinsic and common pathways, indicating deficiencies in clotting factors.
- [Fibrinogen Level](https://): Measures the amount of fibrinogen, a key protein in blood clot formation.
- [Platelet Count](https://): Determines the number of platelets, which are critical for clot formation.
- [D-dimer](https://): A test that can help diagnose thrombosis, although it is not routinely included in a standard coagulation profile.
