The coagulation department in pathology focuses on diagnosing and managing disorders related to blood clotting. It processes various laboratory tests to evaluate the coagulation cascade, including prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), and platelet function assays. These tests help identify conditions such as hemophilia, thrombosis, and other bleeding disorders. The department also monitors patients on anticoagulant therapy to ensure therapeutic effectiveness and safety.
