This test measures how long it takes your blood to clot, which helps check for bleeding and clotting problems. Prothrombin Time (PT) checks one specific clotting pathway, while Partial Thromboplastin Time (PTT) checks another. Together, they give a comprehensive view of your blood's clotting ability.

| Why To Buy | The aPTT is often ordered, along with the prothrombin time, to diagnose the cause of patient bleeding or as part of a presurgical screen to rule out coagulation defects.9-11 The aPTT can be prolonged when the activities of any of the factors of the intrinsic pathway are significantly diminished. Deficiencies or inhibition of high molecular weight kininogen (HMWK), prekallikrein, or factors XII, XI, IX, and VIII can result in an extended aPTT with a normal protime (PT) since these factors are not part of the extrinsic pathway. Significant deficiencies of factors that are common to both the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways (factors X, V, prothrombin, or fibrinogen) can extend both the aPTT and PT. |
