The PTT test is an in vitro laboratorytest used to assess the intrinsic coagulation pathway and monitor heparin therapy. PTT is most commonly usedto quantitate the effect of therapeutic unfractionated heparin and to regulate its dosing. Except during transitions between heparin and warfarin therapy, in general both the PTT and PT are not necessary together to assess theeffect of anticoagulation therapy. PT and PTT must be justified PTT may be used to assess patients with signs or symptoms of hemorrhage orthrombosis.
