APTT Test in Pune

What is APTT Test

APTT (Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time) test is a blood test that is used to assess the clotting ability of blood. It measures the time it takes for blood to clot after a series of specific chemicals are added to a blood sample. The APTT test is commonly used to monitor treatment with blood-thinning medications, such as heparin, and to diagnose bleeding disorders. The test is performed by drawing a blood sample from a vein in the arm and then mixing it with a series of chemicals to initiate the clotting process.

Who should do this test?

Patients who are on anticoagulant therapy or those who are at risk of developing blood clots due to medical conditions such as deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, or atrial fibrillation.

• Individuals who have a bleeding disorder or a family history of bleeding disorders, such as hemophilia or von Willebrand disease.
• Patients who are undergoing surgery or other invasive medical procedures that may increase the risk of bleeding or clotting.

What to do if the test is abnormal?

• The first thing a person should do if the result of their APTT (Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time) test is abnormal is to consult their physician or hematologist. The physician will be able to interpret the test results and determine if there is a bleeding or clotting disorder that needs to be addressed.
• Depending on the test result and patients medical history, the physician may order additional tests to further investigate any underlying conditions that may be causing the abnormal APTT result. These additional tests may include a complete blood count (CBC), a prothrombin time (PT) test, and a fibrinogen level test.
• In the meantime, the person should follow any instructions given by their physician, including any changes to medication or lifestyle recommendations. It is important to regularly follow up with the physician to monitor any changes in their condition and adjust treatment as needed.
