Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT / PTTK)

Report Delivery Time: Same Day

Recommended Gender: Both

Sample Type: Blood

The PTTK Test, also known as the APTT Test (Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time), measures how long your blood takes to clot and helps evaluate the intrinsic and common coagulation pathways. It is essential for diagnosing bleeding disorders, monitoring anticoagulant therapy, and ensuring safe clotting function before surgery or medical procedures.

The PTTK Test (Partial Thromboplastin Time Kaolin Test) — medically termed the APTT Test (Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time Test) — is a vital blood test used to evaluate your body’s ability to form clots properly. It assesses multiple clotting factors to detect abnormalities that may lead to prolonged bleeding or excessive clotting.

This PTTK Test is a key diagnostic tool for identifying bleeding disorders, hemophilia, liver dysfunction, or monitoring patients on heparin therapy. For individuals across Delhi NCR, this test helps ensure accurate assessment of blood coagulation function before any surgical or invasive procedure.

Parameters Covered:

  • Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (Kaolin Method): Evaluates the intrinsic and common pathways to determine how long blood takes to clot.

Why is the PTTK Test Important?

  • Detects coagulation factor deficiencies (VIII, IX, XI, XII).

  • Monitors anticoagulant or heparin therapy.

  • Helps diagnose bleeding and clotting disorders.

  • Ensures safe coagulation status before surgery.

  • Provides a comprehensive coagulation health assessment.

Who Should Take the PTTK Test (APTT Test)?

  • Individuals with prolonged bleeding, frequent bruising, or nosebleeds.

  • Patients on blood thinners or heparin therapy.

  • Those with a family history of bleeding disorders or hemophilia.

  • Individuals undergoing surgery or invasive procedures.

  • Patients with abnormal PT/INR test results.

Test Procedure & Preparation:

  • Sample Type: Blood sample

  • Fasting Required: No

  • Preparation: Inform your doctor about any anticoagulant medications before the test.

A small blood sample is taken and analyzed to measure the PTTK or APTT value, determining clotting efficiency and helping identify any underlying abnormalities.

Understanding the Results:

  • Normal PTTK: Indicates proper clotting function.

  • Prolonged PTTK: May suggest factor deficiency, liver disease, or anticoagulant effect.

  • Shortened PTTK: Could indicate a hypercoagulable state (rare).

Your doctor may recommend additional tests like PT/INR for a complete coagulation profile.
