What does the medical abbreviation APTT mean?
APTT stands for Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time. It's a medical test that, in simple terms, is used to see how long it takes your blood to clot. This can be useful in diagnosing disorders such as Von Willebrand in which the blood has trouble clotting. The test can also be used to see how effectively blood thinning agents such as Heparin are working.
What does activated PTT mean in a coagulation study?
The activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) test is used after you take blood-thinners to see if the right dose of medicine is being used. If the test is done for this purpose, an APTT may be done every few hours. When the correct dose of medicine is found, you will not need so many tests.
What color tube will you draw a Aptt?
aPTT
What are normal results for a partial thromboplastin time test?
Partial thromboplastin time test results can be obtained in less than one hour.
What it the normal aptt time?
Therapeutic range for aPTT is 45-75 seconds.
Is there a test to measure the thinness of blood?
Yes, there is a blood test. Patients on blood thinners are constantly having the thinness of their blood tested. I think it is called PT/INR. ---- There are several test, actually. The above author is correct that people on medications such as warfarin (Coumadin, etc) have their PT/INR (Protime/International Normalized Ratio) checked to make sure their blood is "thin" enough. Other tests include activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (aPTT), thromboelastographs (TEG), and many others. The most commonly used are aPTT and PT/INR. There are also tests to check the function of platelets, which play an integral role in clotting the blood and are not affected by warfarin, but instead are affected by medications such as aspirin, dipyridamole, and clopidrogrel (Plavix). TEGs measure part of this, but other tests that may be checked include bleeding time.
Which test is used to diagnose conditions associated with abnormal bleeding and to monitor anticoagulant therapy?
1. INR (international normalised ratio) 2. aPTT

What causes a shortened aptt time?
hypercoagulatize state
What does a coag panel include?
A "coag panel", or coagulation panel is a blood test to look at the ability of your blood to clot. One sample of blood is taken, usually in a special "vacutube" and is combined with citrate to prevent clotting in the tube. A series of tests is then performed on it in a lab. A coag panel usually comprises an activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), prothrombin time (PT), and platelet count. An International normalised ratio (INR) can be calculated from the PT. Each test measures the effectiveness of different parts of the clotting cascade (a series of reactions that occur when blood clots.)
