Reference RangeUnitNotes
25 – 38secondsNormal (not on heparin)
60 – 100secondsTherapeutic range on UFH

Critical (Panic) Values

Critical High: > 120 seconds. Values outside these limits require immediate clinical attention.

Common Causes of High aPTT

Unfractionated heparin therapy (therapeutic or supra-therapeutic)Hemophilia A (factor VIII deficiency)Hemophilia B (factor IX deficiency)
