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 3

elevated drvvt and ptt-la. history of pulmonary embolism. what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

Thrombophilia: In the right circumstances an elevated DRVVT and a PTT-LA could help in the diagnosis of antiphospholipid antibody syndrome.  Depending on the circumstances in which you had the pulmonary embolism plus elevation of the Lupus Anticoagulant test; can point out a higher risk of recurrence for venous thrombotic and embolic events.

Question 4

doc, my wife pregnant 6w, 3 times miscarriages, this 4th, after blood test her actual partial thromboplastin time high: 45.3....means?

Accepted Answer

OB-Gyn Consult: Partial thromboplastin time (PTT) is a blood test that measures the time it takes your blood to clot.  A longer-than-normal PTT or APTT can mean a lack of or low level of one of the blood clotting factors or another substance needed to clot blood.A longer-than-normal PTT may be caused by conditions such as antiphospholipid antibody syndrome or lupus anticoagulant syndrome (increase miscarriage).

Question 5

could elevated d-dimer on multiple occasions mean i have a clotting disorder even if no pe or dvt was found? pt/ptt/inr, crp, esr were normal.

Accepted Answer

How elevated?: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, elevated D-dimer while associated with thrombosis, is also seen in other disorders, e.g. inflammation.

Question 6

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.

Question 7

on eliquis and my pt and ptt were normal. low normal actually. does this mean factor xa inhibit action isnt working ?

Accepted Answer

: Eliquis does not affect the PT or PTT. So, those numbers would be expected to be normal on Eliquis. As long as you are taking the medicine as prescribed, it is working to prevent blood clots. Best of luck to you!

Question 8

Accepted Answer

That may be the: Therapeutic target. Discuss with the treating physician. Risks are bleeding and bruising.

Question 9

and ptt 84.8?

Accepted Answer

: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, your PT (Prothrombin time) is so high that I question the accuracy of the result. Talk to your doctor.    Wish you good health!
