The PTT Test measures the time it takes for blood to clot, assessing the functionality of various clotting factors.
The PTT Test is necessary to diagnose bleeding or clotting disorders, monitor anticoagulant therapy, and evaluate overall clotting function.
No special preparation, such as fasting, is required for the PTT Test. However, inform your doctor about any medications you are taking.
A blood sample is taken from a vein in your arm and analyzed in a laboratory to measure the clotting time.
PTT Test results are usually available within a few hours to 24 hours, depending on the laboratory’s workload.
