Test Details

Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT) is a laboratory test used to evaluate the intrinsic and common coagulation pathways. It is measured in seconds and is mainly used to monitor patients receiving unfractionated heparin therapy. It also helps in diagnosing bleeding disorders such as hemophilia, von Willebrand disease, or deficiencies in clotting factors (VIII, IX, XI, XII). A prolonged APTT indicates delayed clotting and higher bleeding risk, while a shortened APTT may suggest hypercoagulability.
