    1. Evaluates Intrinsic Clotting Pathway integrity
    2. Plasma collected in a tube containing citrate, which binds Calcium and prevents initial clotting
    3. Calcium is added back to plasma, and time to clotting is measured

Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time measurement (C0030605)

Definition (NCI_CDISC) A measurement of the length of time that it takes for clotting to occur when reagents are added to a plasma specimen. The test is partial due to the absence of tissue factor (Factor III) from the reaction mixture.
Definition (NCI) This is a measurement of the intrinsic pathway of coagulation. Significant deficiency in factors II, V, VIII, IX, X, XI, XII or anticoagulants will prolong PTT. (BioTech Life Science Dictionary)
Definition (MSH) The time required for the appearance of FIBRIN strands following the mixing of PLASMA with phospholipid platelet substitute (e.g., crude cephalins, soybean phosphatides). It is a test of the intrinsic pathway (factors VIII, IX, XI, and XII) and the common pathway (fibrinogen, prothrombin, factors V and X) of BLOOD COAGULATION. It is used as a screening test and to monitor HEPARIN therapy.
