What is CLOTTING TIME(LEE WHITE)?

The Clotting Time (Lee-White) test measures how long it takes for a sample of your blood to clot naturally in a test tube. It assesses the overall ability of your blood to form a clot, primarily evaluating the intrinsic pathway of coagulation.

Why is this test important?

This test can help identify significant clotting deficiencies, although it has largely been replaced by more specific tests like PT and aPTT. It may be used in specific situations to monitor anticoagulant therapy or screen for severe bleeding disorders.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
