It decreases synthesis of thromboxane A2 and prostaglandins to increase bleeding time. It does not affect PT or PTT. Prothrombin time unaffected!
The INR has basically replaced the prothrombin time, or PT.
prothrombin time, hematocrit
prothrombin time
In leukemia, increased prothrombin time (PT) can occur due to several factors, including the production of abnormal blood cells that disrupt normal clotting mechanisms. The disease can lead to bone marrow infiltration, affecting the synthesis of clotting factors. Additionally, patients may experience liver dysfunction from leukemic infiltration or secondary effects, which further impairs the production of clotting proteins. Lastly, coagulopathy associated with the disease, including disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), can also contribute to prolonged PT.

Prothrombin time (PT) measures the activity of coagulation factors in the tissue factor pathway of the coagulation cascade.
