What is APTT?

Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT) measures how long blood takes to clot via the intrinsic pathway. It helps evaluate bleeding disorders and monitor heparin therapy.

What is PTTK?

Partial Thromboplastin Time (PTTK/PTT) assesses the coagulation cascade and is often ordered alongside APTT before surgery or when investigating abnormal bleeding.
