It measures the extrinsic pathway of coagulation and can be used in conjunction with the activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) which measures the intrinsic pathway. It is used as a screening test and can be affected by vitamin K deficiency, liver disease, warfarin therapy or intestinal problems.
