The prothrombin time test belongs to a group of blood tests that assess the clotting ability of blood. The test is also known as the pro time or PT test.
Prothrombin time is typically analyzed by a laboratory technologist on an automated instrument at 37 Â°C (as a nominal approximation of normal human body temperature). 1  Blood is drawn into a test tube containing liquid sodium citrate, which acts as an anticoagulant by binding the calcium in a sample.
