Prothrombin time (PT) and partial thromboplastin time (PTT) tests are used to evaluate the extrinsic coagulation system
Prothrombin time (PT) and partial thromboplastin time (PTT) are tests that are used to evaluate the extrinsic coagulation system.
Patients with low levels of fibrinogen have prolonged PTT in most cases.

Not likely. Bruising can be caused by abnormal clotting factors. PT and PTT can be measured and if they are nl then the bruising is probably not related to the Ritalin. It would be highly unlikely for Ritalin to affect the PT or PTT. Actually, Ritalin does cause bruising. This is a rare but serious side effect and you should stop taking the drug immediately and contact your doctor. The PT and PTT may show up normal but once the Ritalin is discontinued, the bruising typically stops.

push to talk In medical settings PTT stands for partial thromboplastin time, and is a measurement of how long it takes the blood to clot.
There are a few tests used to measure blood's coagulability. PT is prothrombin time, PTT is partial thromboplastin time, the INR is the international normalized ratio.
