This lab package includes - Clotting parameters which contain Prothrombin Time/ International Normalized Ratio (INR), activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (aPTT), Bleeding Time, Clotting Time, Fibrinogen and Complete Blood Count(15 parameters)

 

Activated-clotting-time
To monitor treatment with heparin or other blood-thinning medications anticoagulants when undergoing heart bypass surgery coronary angioplasty or dialysis Specimen:A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm When To Get Tested: When you are receiving high doses of heparin to prevent clotting during surgical procedures such as a heart bypass when heparin levels are too high to allow monitoring with a PTT and or when a rapid result is necessary to monitor treatment Test Preparation:None Normal Test Result: 180 to 240 seconds

 

Fibrinogen
To help evaluate a pregnant woman s risk of preterm delivery Specimen:A cervical or vaginal fluid sample When To Get Tested: When you are 22 to 35 weeks pregnant and are having symptoms of premature labor sometimes if you are at high risk such as if you have had a previous preterm delivery or have a short cervix Test Preparation:None but to reduce the chance of a false-positive result avoid sexual intercourse for 24 hours prior to sample collection and collection should be performed before a physical exam Normal Test Result: 200 mg/dL to 400 mg/dL

 

Hemoglobin
To evaluate the hemoglobin content of your blood as part of a general health checkup to screen for and help diagnose conditions that affect red blood cells RBCs if you have anemia low hemoglobin or polycythemia high hemoglobin to assess the severity of these conditions and to monitor response to treatment Specimen:A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm or by a fingerstick children and adults or heelstick newborns When To Get Tested: With a hematocrit or as part of a complete blood count CBC which may be ordered as a component of a general health screen when you have signs and symptoms of anemia weakness fatigue or polycythemia dizziness headache at regular intervals to monitor these conditions or response to treatment Test Preparation:None Normal Test Result: Normal results for adults vary, but in general are: Male: 13.8 grams per deciliter (g/dL )to 17.2 grams per deciliter (g/dL) or 138 to 172 grams per liter (g/L) Female: 12.1 to 15.1 g/dL or 121 to 151 g/L

 

Platelet-count
To determine the number of platelets in a sample of your blood as part of a health exam to screen for diagnose or monitor conditions that affect the number of platelets such as a bleeding disorder a bone marrow disease or other underlying condition Specimen:A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm or by a fingerstick children and adults or heelstick newborns When To Get Tested: As part of a routine complete blood count CBC when you have episodes of unexplained or prolonged bleeding or other symptoms that may be due to a platelet disorder Test Preparation:None Normal Test Result: normal platelet count ranges from 150,000 to 350,000.

 

Prothrombin-time-and-international-normalized-ratio-ptinr
A prothrombin time PT is a test used to help detect and diagnose a bleeding disorder or excessive clotting disorder the international normalized ratio INR is calculated from a PT result and is used to monitor how well the blood-thinning medication anticoagulant warfarin Coumadin is working to prevent blood clots Specimen:A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm sometimes blood from a fingerstick When To Get Tested: When you are taking warfarin or when you have unexplained or prolonged bleeding or inappropriate blood clotting Test Preparation:None needed although if you are receiving anticoagulant therapy the specimen should be collected before taking your daily dose Normal Test Result: normal range for your PT results is: 11 to 13.5 seconds. INR of 0.8 to 1.1.

 

Red-blood-cell-count-rbc
To evaluate the number of red blood cells RBCs used to screen for help diagnose or monitor conditions affecting red blood cells Specimen:A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm or by a fingerstick children and adults or heelstick newborns When To Get Tested: As part of a complete blood count CBC during a health examination or when you have signs and symptoms of a condition such as anemia or polycythemia Test Preparation:None Normal Test Result: A normal RBC count would be: men – 4.7 million cells per microlitre (cells/mcL) to 6.1 million cells per microlitre (cells/mcL) women – 4.2 to 5.4 million cells/mcL.

 

White-blood-cell-count-wbc
To screen for or diagnose a variety of conditions that can affect white blood cells WBC such as an infection inflammation or a disease that affects the production or survival of WBCs to monitor treatment of a blood disorder or to monitor therapy that is known to affect WBCs Specimen:A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm or by a fingerstick children and adults or heelstick newborns When To Get Tested: As part of a complete blood count CBC when you have a routine health examination when you have any number of signs and symptoms that may be related to a condition affecting WBCs such as infection inflammation or cancer when you have a condition or are receiving treatment that is known to affect WBCs Test Preparation:None Normal Test Result: 4,500 WBCs per microliter (4.5 to 11.0 × 109/L) to 11,000 WBCs per microliter (4.5 to 11.0 × 109/L)
