Partial Thromboplastin Time (PTT), (aPTT)
$60.00
Overview: The Partial Thromboplastin Time (PTT), also known as Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (aPTT), is a crucial diagnostic test designed to evaluate the clotting ability of your blood. This comprehensive test assesses the efficiency of various clotting factors, offering valuable insights into your body’s hemostatic system.
What is PTT/aPTT?
PTT/aPTT measures the time it takes for blood to clot, specifically when specific clotting factors are activated. It primarily focuses on the intrinsic and common pathways of the clotting process, providing a comprehensive assessment of the coagulation cascade.
Who is it for?
-
🔘 Pre-Surgical Evaluation: PTT/aPTT is commonly prescribed before surgical procedures to ensure that patients don’t have an underlying bleeding disorder, minimizing risks during and after surgery.
-
🔘 Monitoring Anticoagulant Therapy: Individuals on anticoagulant medications, such as heparin, require regular PTT/aPTT tests to assess the therapeutic range, preventing both bleeding and clotting complications.
-
🔘 Unexplained Bruising or Bleeding: If you experience spontaneous bruising, prolonged bleeding from minor cuts, or unexplained nosebleeds, a PTT/aPTT test can unveil potential clotting disorders.
-
🔘 Recurrent Miscarriages: Women with a history of recurrent miscarriages may undergo PTT/aPTT testing to identify any underlying clotting abnormalities that could contribute to pregnancy complications.
-
🔘 Monitoring Coagulation Disorders: Individuals with known coagulation disorders, such as hemophilia, benefit from routine PTT/aPTT tests to manage and adjust treatment plans effectively.
