MeSH. D010314. [ edit on Wikidata] The partial thromboplastin time ( PTT ), also known as the activated partial thromboplastin time ( aPTT or APTT ), is a blood test that characterizes coagulation of the blood. A historical name for this measure is the kaolin-cephalin clotting time ( KCCT ), [ 1] reflecting kaolin and cephalin as materials ...
According to the American Diabetes Association, the fasting blood glucose target range for diabetics, should be 3.9 - 7.2 mmol/L (70 - 130 mg/dL) and less than 10 mmol/L (180 mg/dL) two hours after meals (as measured by a blood glucose monitor). [ 6][ 7][ 9] Normal value ranges may vary slightly between laboratories.
The prothrombin time ( PT) – along with its derived measures of prothrombin ratio ( PR) and international normalized ratio ( INR) – is an assay for evaluating the extrinsic pathway and common pathway of coagulation. This blood test is also called protime INR and PT/INR. They are used to determine the clotting tendency of blood, in such ...
v. t. e. Reference ranges (reference intervals) for blood tests are sets of values used by a health professional to interpret a set of medical test results from blood samples. Reference ranges for blood tests are studied within the field of clinical chemistry (also known as "clinical biochemistry", "chemical pathology" or "pure blood chemistry ...
Fresh normal plasma has all the blood coagulation factors with normal levels. If the problem is a simple factor deficiency, mixing the patient plasma 1:1 with plasma that contains 100% of the normal factor level results in a level ≥50% in the mixture (say the patient has an activity of 0%; the average of 100% + 0% = 50%).

003652. [ edit on Wikidata] Clotting time is a general term for the time required for a sample of blood to form a clot, or, in medical terms, coagulate. The term "clotting time" is often used when referring to tests such as the prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT or PTT), activated clotting time (ACT), thrombin ...
67790-6. Io. Thromboelastography ( TEG) is a method of testing the efficiency of blood coagulation. It is a test mainly used in surgery and anesthesiology, although increasingly used in resuscitations in emergency departments, intensive care units, and labor and delivery suites. More common tests of blood coagulation include prothrombin time ...
MeSH. D013918. [ edit on Wikidata] The thrombin time ( TT ), also known as the thrombin clotting time ( TCT ), is a blood test that measures the time it takes for a clot to form in the plasma of a blood sample containing anticoagulant, after an excess of thrombin has been added. [ 1] It is used to diagnose blood coagulation disorders and to ...
