What Does APTT Stand For?

APTT stands for Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time

Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT) is a clinical laboratory test that measures the time it takes for blood to clot, specifically evaluating the intrinsic and common coagulation pathways. It is commonly used to assess coagulation disorders, monitor patients on anticoagulant therapy, and during preoperative evaluations. APTT results help guide treatment decisions and ensure proper management of bleeding risks.
