Vitamin K Test

The vitamin K test is used to identify the rate of bleeding in a prothrombin time(PT). It also measures how long your blood takes to clot. If the result of PT is prolonged, it indicates a low level of vitamin K. In this case, your doctor will suggest you take supplements or injections of vitamin K.
