A check can exclude deficiencies in iron, calcium, prothrombin time, vitamin B-12, vitamin D, and thiamine.

Historically, thromboplastin was a lab reagent, usually derived from placental sources, used to assay prothrombin times ( PT time ).
13.
These tests include prothrombin time ( PT / INR ), aPTT, albumin, bilirubin ( direct and indirect ), and others.
14.
This is shown by an increase in prothrombin time and / or international normalised ratio ( INR ) in patients taking roxithromycin and warfarin concurrently.
15.
The complications are hepatic encephalopathy and impaired protein synthesis ( as measured by the levels of serum albumin and the prothrombin time in the blood ).
16.
The prolongation of coagulation ( or prothrombin time, PT ) occurs following either tissue factor or contact-phase stimulation and is dose-dependent.
17.
Partial thromboplastin time should not be confused with prothrombin time, or PT, which measures blood clotting time through a different pathway of the coagulation cascade.
18.
The prothrombin time measures the speed of clotting by means of the " extrinsic pathway " ( also known as the tissue factor pathway ).
19.
Alcoholic hepatitis can vary from mild with only liver enzyme elevation to severe liver inflammation with development of jaundice, prolonged prothrombin time, and even liver failure.
20.
The partial thromboplastin time ( PTT ) is used in conjunction with another measure of how quickly blood clotting takes place called the prothrombin time ( PT ).
