About This Test
The Bleeding Time (BT) test measures how long it takes for bleeding to stop after a small standardized skin puncture. It helps evaluate platelet function and the initial steps of the blood clotting process. Prolonged BT may occur due to low platelet count (Thrombocytopenia) or there may be a higher risk of bleeding during surgery or injury.
