Best Answer

A "coag panel", or coagulation panel is a blood test to look at the ability of your blood to clot. One sample of blood is taken, usually in a special "vacutube" and is combined with citrate to prevent clotting in the tube. A series of tests is then performed on it in a lab.

A coag panel usually comprises an activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), prothrombin time (PT), and platelet count. An International normalised ratio (INR) can be calculated from the PT. Each test measures the effectiveness of different parts of the clotting cascade (a series of reactions that occur when blood clots.)
