Answers:
there is no difference for you, they draw your blood just like any other blood test. Then the lab performs various tests on the blood to see how it clots, how rapidly it clots and they try to find out the why behind the rate at which it clots.
It's not time to worry, you have no results, and worrying won't change a thing. When a person is anemic, it is common practise to check clotting factors, so don't freak out.Health Question & Answer

its a test to see how thick or thin your blood is! if its thin then you may have problems forming a scab if you cut your self (hemophiliac) if its too thick you can run the risk of a blood clot in your arteries leading to a stroke! if you are anemic then they are checking for the first one, they can give you tablets for that and the test shouldnt be any different then a regular blood test, they are just looking for sample, its just the name they gave you for the test!Health Question & Answer

so far as the procedure to collect the blood, it will be the same as for your other test, the tube will just be a different color.

The purpose of this test is to see how much time it takes your blood to clot (thicken up so to speak), the other test was to see how many red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets you have in your bloodHealth Question & Answer
