Protime, INR & PTT Test Results?
I am scheduled for a rhinoplasty on 11/16 and just had my physical done and while at it requested the test (Protime, PTT & INR) the results are: Protime - 10.2, PTT - 28, INR-1 Are those acceptable results for the rhinoplasty?

Bleeding tests before surgery
I do not even bother to get these tests pre-operatively as they virtually are never of any practical use. he most important issue regarding bleeding with surgery is the use of aspirin or ibuprofen before surgery. Be sure that you avoid such medications as instructed by dour surgeon. Good luck!

Regarding your question
Dear ilovecandy
Every person is different but you looks like you are in the normail limits, as Dr. Shemirani said. you can see the normal ranges on the lab test sheet, but it is always best to consult directly with a Doctor.

Protime, INR & PTT Test Results?
That depends on the lab's normal ranges for those tests; in your case the numbers look fine. A history of easy bruising is the best thing to ask any patient before an operation - if the answer is no then the above tests are probably not necessary.
