APTT Test Bangalore
About the APTT Test
The APTT (Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time) test evaluates the intrinsic and common pathways of blood coagulation by measuring how long it takes plasma to clot after specific activators are added. Clinicians use APTT to diagnose bleeding disorders (like hemophilia), detect clotting factor deficiencies, evaluate unexplained bruising or bleeding, and monitor anticoagulant therapy such as unfractionated heparin. It also helps investigate recurrent miscarriages or suspected antiphospholipid syndrome when combined with other tests. The sample is a venous blood draw into a citrate tube, typically requires no special fasting, and laboratories report APTT in seconds plus a reference range determined by their method. Abnormal APTT results prompt further factor assays, lupus anticoagulant testing, or hematology/rheumatology referral for targeted management and treatment planning. Seviyaar coordinates sample collection and processing with NABL‑certified laboratories via the lab tests booking platform.
