Mathematical model for the blood coagulation prothrombin time test.

A mathematical model for the prothrombin time test is proposed. The time course of clotting factor activation during coagulation was calculated, and the sensitivity of the test to a decrease in the concentrations of coagulation proteins or their activities was studied. The model predicts that only severe coagulation disorders connected with a more than five-fold decrease in the concentrations or activities of the blood coagulation factors can be revealed by the test.
