Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time “TTP”

This study is used as a general determination of the integrity of the intrinsic and common mechanism. Values can be prolonged by a factor inhibitor, which are substances that inhibit coagulation reactions. These are usually antibodies (such as lupus anticoagulants or factor-specific inhibitors) or anticoagulants such as heparin or hirudin.
