Clotting Time Test

The Clotting Time test at Pamel Laboratories is a vital diagnostic procedure used to measure how long it takes for your blood to form a clot after an injury. This test evaluates the efficiency of the body’s clotting process and helps in identifying potential bleeding or clotting disorders.

It is often performed alongside the Bleeding Time test as part of a pre-surgical evaluation or to investigate unexplained bleeding tendencies.

Purpose of the Test:

• Assess how long it takes blood to clot under controlled conditions

• Identify potential clotting factor deficiencies or bleeding disorders

• Monitor patients on anticoagulant (blood-thinning) therapy

• Evaluate liver function, as clotting factors are produced in the liver

• Pre-operative screening for bleeding risk

What the Test Involves:
A small blood sample is drawn or collected through a fingertip prick. The time taken for the blood to naturally form a clot is observed and recorded.

Normal Range: Typically 3–8 minutes (depending on the method used)

Sample Type: Capillary blood or venous blood (as per testing method)

Turnaround Time: Immediate (performed on-site)

Test Method: Capillary Tube Method / Lee-White Method (depending on protocol)
