Coagulation: In medicine, the clotting of blood. The process by which the blood clots to form solid masses, or clots. More than 30 types of cells and substances in blood affect clotting. The process is initiated by blood platelets. Platelets produce a substance that combines with calcium ions in the blood to form thromboplastin, which in turn converts the protein prothrombin into thrombin in a complex series of reactions.
However, blood moving through your blood vessels should not clot. If such clots form they can travel through your bloodstream to your heart, lungs, or brain, causing a heart attack or stroke. Coagulation tests measure your bloodâs ability to clot, as well as how long it takes.Testing can help your doctor assess your risk of excessive bleeding or developing clots (thrombosis) somewhere in your blood vessels.Most coagulation tests are given in the same manner as most blood tests.
