Ideal sources for Wikipedia's health content are defined in the guideline Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources (medicine) and are typically review articles. Here are links to possibly useful sources of information about Partial thromboplastin time.

PubMed provides review articles from the past five years (limit to free review articles)
The TRIP database provides clinical publications about evidence-based medicine.
Other potential sources include: Centre for Reviews and Dissemination and CDC

misleading image

The image that hints that INR is equal to PT/PTT... which is very misleading and I took it down.

It would be helpful if there was a disambiguation page for PTT, because now it directs you to something different.

Shortening is pathologically significant

A shortened APTT independently predicts recurrence of VTE[1]. JFW | T@lk 22:41, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

mistake in the interpretation table

I don't know how to correct the mistake in the table: von Willebrand diseas leads the prothrombin time unaffected and prolonges the partial thromboplastin time (because vWF protects FVIII from proteolysis, so less vWF -> less FVIII -> longer PTT).

Bleeding Time in Hemophilia

Shouldn't the bleeding time be unaffected in hemophilia because it's an issue with clotting factors and not platelets? It even says in the hemophilia page that bleeding time is unaffected, but the tables between all of them says it is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.111.74.240 (talk) 08:04, 12 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
