ULTIMATE COAGULATION (CLOTTING) BLOOD TEST OVERVIEW

Coagulation tests, also known as clotting tests, are conducted to assess the body's ability to form blood clots effectively.

They are commonly used to diagnose bleeding disorders, monitor the effectiveness of anticoagulant medications, or evaluate liver and kidney function.

If you have a family history of clotting disorders, experience excessive bleeding or bruising, or are undergoing certain medical treatments, such as surgery or long-term medication use, a coagulation blood test may be useful.

Finally, if you are experiencing unexplained symptoms like frequent nosebleeds or heavy menstrual bleeding, your GP may find this test useful in determining the underlying cause.

  2. CLINICAL INFORMATION REQUIRED

    Please make sure that you supply us with additional information for this test, such as any medication you are on, e.g. blood thinners such as Warfarin or any other clinically relevant information. This will ensure there are no delays with results reporting.

    The D-Dimer is a dynamic test and can change according to the clinical situation. In the presence of bleeding (including menstruation), clotting (DVT/PE), infection, inflammation, malignancy, the D-Dimer level can rise rapidly and then settle back towards normal within days. The D-Dimer level can change day to day.

  1. TURNAROUND TIME

    We are extremely fast, with some results available within hours and others within a working day or less, from the time your sample is in our lab. However, this is not a guarantee and should not be taken as such. This is the guideline turnaround time that can be shorter or longer.


    THIS IS NOT A GUARANTEED TURNAROUND TIME.


    We are extremely proud of our very short turnaround times and a very efficient laboratory processes, you will start receiving results as soon as they are available and have completed clinical validation.

    This service is not included in the price of the test, it is charged separately, should you wish to book it.

DOCTOR'S COMMENTS

Hi, I am Dr. Adam Staten and here's my view on this test as a GP and Clinical Director at One Day Tests.

DR. ADAM STATEN - GP VIEW AND RED FLAG SYMPTOMS

This test includes the D-dimer measurement.

D-dimer is a protein fragment produced when a blood clot dissolves in the body, and its levels can be measured in the blood. The test is particularly useful in diagnosing or ruling out conditions related to abnormal clot formation and breakdown.

The D-Dimer is a dynamic test and can change according to the clinical situation. In the presence of bleeding (including menstruation), clotting (DVT/PE), infection, inflammation, malignancy, the D-Dimer level can rise rapidly and then settle back towards normal within days. The D-Dimer level can change day to day.

Red flag symptoms for the Ultimate Coagulation (Clotting) Blood Test

Even if all the blood tests are normal, you should still see your doctor if you have any of the symptoms below.

  • Unexplained or excessive bleeding
  • Spontaneous or recurrent blood clots
  • Unusual bleeding after medical procedures or surgeries
  • Family history of bleeding or clotting disorders

Your Results and Health Dashboard

The results of your Ultimate Coagulation (Clotting) Blood Test will be emailed to you as a secured PDF file, ready for your GP and will also be uploaded to our Health Dashboard area of the website. It’s a unique and powerful tool, powered by our in-house clinical analysis research, to match your biomarkers across test panels and symptoms, as well as provide clinical commentary on all individual biomarkers you tested for.

The health dashboard will also provide "panel level" commentary - a birds eye view of the biomarkers that were tested. This feature allows you to view your test results and clinical commentary, and compare them to previous results, giving you a clear understanding of how your health is progressing.

By using the Health Dashboard, you can identify changes in your biomarkers and make necessary adjustments to your lifestyle. This added value is immense, as it empowers you to monitor your health and make informed decisions about your well-being.

It's free and is available with all of our tests.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Hi, I am Lana Nela, Lead Nurse, and here is what we are frequently asked about this test.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Here are some of the most frequently asked questions about the Ultimate Coagulation (Clotting) Blood Test.

Can D-Dimer results change day to day?

The D-Dimer is a dynamic test and can change according to the clinical situation. In the presence of bleeding (including menstruation), clotting (DVT/PE), infection, inflammation, malignancy, the D-Dimer level can rise rapidly and then settle back towards normal within days.

The D-Dimer level can change day to day.

What is a coagulation blood test, and what does it measure?

A coagulation blood test is a diagnostic test that assesses the clotting function of the blood. It measures various parameters such as clotting time, clotting factors, platelet count, and other coagulation markers to evaluate the blood's ability to form clots effectively. The test helps diagnose clotting disorders, monitor anticoagulant therapy, and evaluate liver and kidney function related to coagulation.

What are D-Dimers?

D-dimers are small protein fragments that are produced when a blood clot is broken down in the body. They are formed during the degradation of fibrin, a protein involved in the formation of blood clots. D-dimer levels can be measured through a blood test and are used as a marker to evaluate the presence or likelihood of an active blood clotting process in the body.

D-dimer tests are commonly used in the diagnosis and management of conditions such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). When a blood clot forms, it eventually breaks down, releasing D-dimers into the bloodstream. Elevated levels of D-dimers can indicate an ongoing clotting process, suggesting the need for further investigation or treatment.

WHY HAVE THE TEST?

Hi, I am Nader Eldarf, I am a Biomedical Scientist in our laboratory and here is why it's important to take this test.

  1. WHY HAVE THE ULTIMATE COAGULATION (CLOTTING) BLOOD TEST?

    The coagulation blood test plays a crucial role in assessing and monitoring the clotting function of the blood, making it an important diagnostic tool in healthcare.

    Blood clotting, or coagulation, is a vital process that prevents excessive bleeding when a blood vessel is injured. This test helps identify various clotting disorders and abnormalities that can lead to either excessive clotting or excessive bleeding.

    By measuring parameters such as clotting time, clotting factors, platelet count, and other coagulation markers, healthcare professionals can diagnose conditions such as hemophilia, von Willebrand disease, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC).

    It is also used to monitor patients on anticoagulant therapy, ensuring that their blood is within the desired therapeutic range to prevent both clotting and bleeding complications.
