The PTT Test measures the time it takes for blood to clot, assessing the functionality of various clotting factors.

The PTT Test is necessary to diagnose bleeding or clotting disorders, monitor anticoagulant therapy, and evaluate overall clotting function.

No special preparation, such as fasting, is required for the PTT Test. However, inform your doctor about any medications you are taking.

A blood sample is taken from a vein in your arm and analyzed in a laboratory to measure the clotting time.

PTT Test results are usually available within a few hours to 24 hours, depending on the laboratory’s workload.

Spirometry is a lung function test that measures how much air you can inhale and exhale, and how quickly you can do it.

Wear loose clothing, avoid heavy meals or intense exercise before the test, and follow any specific instructions from your doctor.

No, spirometry is non-invasive and painless. You will be asked to breathe into a device, which may feel slightly uncomfortable but is not painful.

The test itself takes about 15-30 minutes. Results are usually available immediately or within a few hours.

The frequency depends on your health conditions and doctor’s recommendations. It may be performed regularly for ongoing monitoring or as needed for diagnosis.

Candidates include individuals with significant nasal obstruction or breathing difficulties caused by a deviated septum that does not improve with other treatments.
