Question 1

will it make you tired if ptt levels are too low as in below a 1?

Accepted Answer

Other way.: Tired lowers your ptt level.

Specifically, the inflammatory state that makes one tired is activating delta (deep sleep) waves in the brain in a way that is one of extremely few inflammatory pathways that aspirin DOES NOT BLOCK. Inflammation triggers liver production of clotting proteins lowering PTT. Steroids inhibit all these inflammatory pathways.

Question 2

does a normal ptt blood test mean low risk for developing blood clots?

Accepted Answer

No: You should draw no conclusions about tendency to develop clots from ANY of the ordinary hematologic parameters.

Question 3

35 month old - ptt came back 42 normal range 26-39. pt / inr normal. cbc normal but notated platelet clumps +1, segs couple numbers high, lymph absol - little low. what could this mean.

Accepted Answer

Repeat labs: The laboratory findings are slightly abnormal.  Repeat the studies one week later to see if any variation.  If persistent then your pediatrician may refer you to a blood doctor or hematologist.  The risk of bleeding after tonsillectomy is low but not zero.  It can occur right after surgery or up to 8 days later.  The repeat of testing is necessary.

Question 4

ptt level of 20 sec(low compared to the control time of 30sec per the lab), pt time 12.2sec(high per the lab),inr of 1.11,prothrombin ratio 88%, platelets 242 giga/l. 
p.s:i have nafld and sgpt 64ui/l.is there a liver problem related to coagulation?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Liver disorders would prolong the clotting parameters, not shorten these. In fact the shorter times than normal are questionable.
It would be appropriate to discuss the results with the doctor who ordered the tests.
Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.

Question 5

i have sle. what does a high neutrophil and low lymphocyte count mean? i also had a high active ptt, low co2, high creatine, high bun, and high anion

Accepted Answer

There is: There is a lot going here and we need more detail to comment. High creatinine could mean kidney involvement from lupus or dehydration----we need full labs in order to comment.  Please repost.

Question 6

low wbc,low rbc,low igm,low neutrophil,low monocyte,hematocrit and hemoglobin levels are within range,mcv high,an ocassional myocelyte. pt/ptt unknow?

Accepted Answer

See hematologist: You need to consult a hematologist. Some of the findings may be related to vitamin B12 or folic acid deficiency but the whole picture is unclear especially given that the hematocrit and hgb levels were normal.

Question 7

normal pt high ptt means?

Accepted Answer

See below: Could be normal such as pts with lupus anti-coagulant or a bleeding disorder ( von willebrand )  ; rec go see a hematologist to eval.

Question 8

when your ptt is low, what's wrong?

Accepted Answer

PTT: Partial thromboplastin time (PTT) is a lab test that looks at blood coagulation. If it is too long - it could be associated with bleeding or clotting problems.

Question 9

what's the normal pt and ptt levels?

Accepted Answer

Family practice : Normal pt- 11-13.5,   ptt- 22-34.

Question 10

i have ptt level high i.e 47 which is leading to miscarriages . is there a way to reduce it and bring down to the normal level permanently ? pls suges

Accepted Answer

High ptt: There are many causes of miscarriage. A high ptt is something that should be investigated among other things for general health, not only miscarriage. The reasons for high PTT can be autoimmune disease, liver disease, including hepatitis or other liver infection or infestation. This is something that should be looked at by your doctor or a hematologist.
