Bleeding Time & Clotting Time tests assess how quickly your blood clots, helping diagnose bleeding disorders and ensuring safe medical procedures.
Bleeding Time and Clotting Time are essential hematological tests used to evaluate the hemostatic function of the body, which is crucial for proper blood coagulation and prevention of excessive bleeding.
Bleeding Time measures the time it takes for bleeding to stop after a small cut is made, assessing the function of blood vessels and platelets. It helps identify any disorders related to platelet function or vascular integrity.
Clotting Time measures the time it takes for blood to clot after a blood sample is taken, reflecting the efficiency of the coagulation cascade. This test evaluates various factors in the blood that contribute to clot formation.
These tests are vital for diagnosing bleeding disorders, monitoring patients on anticoagulant therapy, and assessing pre-surgical risks. Abnormal results can indicate conditions such as hemophilia, von Willebrand disease, or other clotting factor deficiencies.
Patients with Unexplained Bleeding or Bruising: Those experiencing frequent nosebleeds, heavy menstrual periods, or easy bruising should consider these tests.
Pre-Surgical Evaluation: Individuals scheduled for surgery often undergo these tests to evaluate their risk of excessive bleeding during and after the procedure.
Patients with Known Coagulation Disorders: Monitoring is crucial for patients diagnosed with bleeding disorders or those on medications affecting blood coagulation.

1. BLEEDING TIME
2. CLOTTING TIME
For Bleeding Time, a small cut is made on the forearm, and the time until bleeding stops is measured. For Clotting Time, a blood sample is taken and analyzed in the laboratory.
Prolonged Bleeding Time may suggest platelet dysfunction or vascular issues, while prolonged Clotting Time may indicate a deficiency in one or more clotting factors.
Both tests involve minor discomfort, primarily due to the needle prick for blood sampling, but they are generally well-tolerated.
Results are typically available within a few hours to a day, depending on the laboratory’s workload and testing protocols.
