Clinical utilization of the international normalized ratio (INR) [PDF]
The prothrombin time (PT) is one of the most important laboratory tests to determine the functionality of the blood coagulation system. It is used in patient care to diagnose diseases of coagulation, assess the risk of bleeding in patients undergoing operative procedures, monitor patients being treated with oral anticoagulant (coumadin) therapy, and ...
