A low PT blood test means that the time it takes for your blood to clot is longer than normal. Think of blood clotting like a band-aid for cuts; when you get a cut, your blood needs to stop flowing so it can heal. The PT (prothrombin time) test checks how well and how quickly your blood can form a clot. If the number is low, it could mean that something isn't quite right with your blood's ability to clot, and doctors might need to look into that further.
