Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Prothrombin Time (PT) is a coagulation test used to measure the time it takes for blood to clot. It is commonly used to assess the therapeutic range of warfarin therapy, a medication that prevents blood clots. Warfarin therapy requires careful monitoring to ensure that the blood's ability to clot is maintained within a safe and effective range, and PT testing is a key tool in this process.
