Students looking for more than the usual academic challenge may apply to one of our freshman honors programs. Twoâ Business Honors and Natural Sciences Honors âalso accept applications from transfer students.
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 test results can be presented in two ways. The average time range for blood to clot is about 10 to 14 seconds. A number higher than that range means it takes blood longer than usual to clot. A number lower than that range means blood clots more quickly than normal. This ratio â which allows for easier comparisons of test results from different laboratories â is used if you take blood-thinning medications.
