In toxicology, assessing hemostasis involves a combination of laboratory tests and clinical evaluations. Prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), and platelet counts are common laboratory tests used to evaluate the coagulation status. Additionally, toxicologists may use specific assays to measure the activity of particular clotting factors or platelet function tests to assess the impact of toxins on hemostasis.
