hi  i had a tooth out and it would not clot and had to have it stitched. i was advised to go to my dr for blood tests - they foned today and said the coagulants were fine and i was to go back for some more blood tests - what else could they be looking for
Hello, if by coagulants you mean INR (or prothrombin time) or activated partial thromboplastin time then you should also check a complete blood count for platelet number disorders and blood clotting time. If both are normal It's very unlikely that you have a blood problem. Regarding platelets, their number could be normal, but functionality may be impaired but if the blood clotting time is normal, your wounds should be clotting on time! I hope I've helped. If you'd like to ask more, please let me know. I'll be glad to help. Kind Regards!
