The standard coagulogram profile includes:<\/p>\n
- \n
- \n
prothrombin time (PTT)<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT)<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
fibrinogen<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
INR (International Normalized Ratio)<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
antithrombin III<\/strong>, D-dimer<\/strong> \u2014 if necessary<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The analysis is sensitive to many external and internal factors, therefore precise preparation<\/strong> is a prerequisite for reliable results.<\/p>\n

- \n
- \n
patients before surgery<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
when planning pregnancy or its complications (preeclampsia, gestosis)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
people with varicose veins, thrombosis, stroke in history<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

- \n
- \n
Pregnant women<\/strong>: a coagulogram is performed several times during pregnancy. Preparation is standard, but it is important to report any complications from previous pregnancies (hypertension, gestosis, cesarean section).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
Cancer patients<\/strong>: the risk of thrombosis is higher, so it is worth clarifying which parameters will be evaluated (for example, D-dimer, antithrombin III).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
