Gallstone surgery
Hello sir/mam, I'm suffering from gallstone and surgery going to happen on monday... before the surgery doctor wrote some blood tests and reports came back normal... but I've some doughts in one of those report which I've submitted here... so please take a look and please help me to understand what these reports are about??
thanku .
The reports are normal
These reports give an idea about the clotting efficiency in your body
Here we compare your values with someone who is known to be completely normal
1.17 is a normal value
This test is important for any surgery ..more so with hepatobiliary surgery as it tests the prothrombin time which is dependent on vit k. Vit k being a fat soluble vitamin , it's body stores get depleted in hepatobiliary patholgies
