Coagulogram - what is it?

"Coagulogram - what is it?" - patients who are sent to undergo such a test ask in surprise. Indeed, people rarely encounter such a analysis, because it becomes necessary, as a rule, during the preparation for elective surgery. Also, this term is familiar to all pregnant women, who need to have a coagulogram test in the process of carrying a child every trimester. 

So what does this term mean anyway? This incomprehensible word hides the analysis of the blood coagulation system (hemostasis).  After all, the circulatory system is one of the most important systems of our body. And the coagulogram allows you to identify violations of hemostasis — the system responsible for the liquid state of the blood in normal and for its clotting during bleeding to stop. In case of violations in this system, a person may have significant blood loss even with a minor cut, or on the contrary, excessive "thickening" of blood can lead to thrombosis (formation of blood clots) and, as a result, heart attacks and strokes.

In everyday life, they may not detect themselves in any way, disorders in the blood coagulation system may not detect themselves in any way. But during surgery or childbirth, they threaten to develop a critical situation.

So, when is it necessary to make a coagulogram?

This analysis is necessary before various operations.
This test is also mandatory for pregnant women, as it allows them to detect and eliminate many problems in a timely manner, one of which is the onset of premature detachment of a normally located placenta – a formidable complication during pregnancy.
A detailed coagulogram is recommended for people who have a tendency to thrombosis.
This analysis is also mandatory during the course of treatment with anticoagulants (drugs that inhibit the activity of the blood coagulation system).
This analysis is recommended for diseases of the liver, vascular system and previous heart attack and stroke.
An expanded coagulogram is carried out with extensive non-stop bleeding of unknown etiology. This test allows you to determine the cause and successfully solve it.

OLYMP CDL offers its patients a special profile "Coagulogram", which includes 4 most necessary analysis to identify a wide range of problems in the hemostasis system:

Determination of fibrinogen
APTT (activated partial thromboplastin time
Determination of thrombin time
Determination of prothrombin time, followed by calculation of PTI (prothrombin index) and INR (international normalized ratio)

The OLYMP branches of independent laboratories make all these tests on modern high-precision analyzers, which reduce "to zero" the probability of error and allow you to achieve the highest diagnostic accuracy.

You can contact any of the 180 treatment rooms of the OLYMP CDL through Kazakhstan in order to pass the Coagulogram profile - a Complete physical examination to identify problems in the blood coagulation system.
