The Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT) test is a blood test used to measure how long it takes for blood to clot. It primarily evaluates the intrinsic and common pathways of the coagulation system and helps detect clotting disorders. Doctors usually recommend this test to investigate unexplained bleeding, frequent bruising, prolonged clotting, or before surgery to ensure normal coagulation function. It is also widely used to monitor patients on heparin therapy and to assess deficiencies of clotting factors such as factors VIII, IX, XI, and XII. Abnormal APTT values may indicate conditions like hemophilia, liver disease, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), or the presence of lupus anticoagulant.
