What is Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT)?
Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT) is a commonly used medical test that measures the time it takes for blood to clot. It is an important diagnostic tool in identifying bleeding disorders and monitoring patients on anticoagulant therapy. APTT is particularly useful in evaluating the intrinsic and common pathways of the coagulation cascade.
