aPTT Levels in Toddlers with Hemophilia A: Reference Range and Interpretation
The normal activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) reference range for toddlers is approximately 25–35 seconds. In hemophilia A (factor VIII deficiency), aPTT is significantly prolonged.
Severe Hemophilia A
aPTT values often exceed 100 seconds, reflecting severely impaired clot formation and high bleeding risk.
Clinical Management
- Regular aPTT monitoring is essential for assessing coagulation status.
- Guides factor VIII replacement therapy dosing.
- Helps evaluate treatment efficacy and adjust prophylaxis regimens.
Comprehensive coagulation panels (including factor VIII activity) provide a complete picture for optimal care.
