The normal range for PT is typically between 11 and 13.5 seconds, but this can vary depending on the laboratory and the reagents used. An abnormal PT can indicate several conditions:
Prolonged PT: Can be caused by liver disease, vitamin K deficiency, or the use of anticoagulant medications. Shortened PT: Less common, but can occur in conditions where there is an increased risk of clotting, such as with certain genetic disorders.
