About Aptt (kcct)
What is the activated partial thromboplastin time?
The activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) (also known as KCCT) test is used to detect abnormal blood clotting characteristics. Blood clotting occurs via two pathways, the intrinsic and extrinsic. The aPTT test measures the speed of blood clotting via the intrinsic pathway and in conjunction with a test for the extrinsic pathway, Prothrombin Time (PT), can give an indication of proper or improper clotting.
Conditions associated with abnormal blood clotting include haemophilia, antiphospholipid syndrome and sepsis. It can also be used to monitor the effect of blood thinning medications such as heparin.
Why take the test?
This test measures the speed of blood clotting via the intrinsic pathway. It can be used to diagnose the cause of unexplained bleeding or clotting, or to monitor the effect of blood thinning medications such as heparin.
