Sex hormone binding globulin - SHBG<br />

In seconds<br />

The average time range for blood to clot is about 10 to 14 seconds. A number<br />

higher than that range means it takes blood longer than usual to clot. A<br />

number lower than that range means blood clots more quickly than normal<br />

(mayoclinic, 2015a).<br />

As INR<br />

This ratio - which allows for easier comparisons of test results from different<br />

laboratories - is used if you take blood-thinning medications (mayoclinic,<br />

2015a).<br />
