Find Answers to Unexplained Bleeding and Bruising
When you notice unusual bleeding that won’t stop, frequent bruising without cause, or worry about your blood’s ability to clot properly, it’s natural to feel concerned. Our Mixing Studies – APTT with Prothrombin Time Studies test is designed specifically to uncover the root causes of bleeding disorders, giving you the clarity and peace of mind you deserve.
Understanding Your Coagulation Health
This comprehensive test evaluates how your blood forms clots through multiple pathways. The APTT (Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time) measures your intrinsic pathway, while Prothrombin Time assesses your extrinsic pathway. Mixing studies help determine if abnormal results are due to factor deficiencies or inhibitors, providing crucial information for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
