Question 1

can a fatty liver affect ptt results ?

Accepted Answer

Not in early stages: Uncomplicated fatty liver is not likely to prolong PTT. However, left untreated it can progress to cirrhosis and that would affect PTT. If you are overweight, it is imperative that you lose weight.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form.  Drink enough water daily so that your urine is mostly colorless.
Practice safe sex.
