This is a test that measures the clotting time of plasma (the liquid portion of the blood). The PT is a broad screening test for many types of bleeding disorders. It evaluates blood clotting disorders, usually bleeding. Coagulation (blood clotting) results from a sequence of reactions involving several proteins known as coagulation factors.

The PT test is used to evaluate the clotting ability of factors I (fibrinogen), II (prothrombin), V, VII, and X. When any of these factors is deficient, the PT is prolonged.
