Hi,
Could be due to some underlying disease. Activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT)) is a screening test that helps evaluate a person's ability to appropriately form blood clots.
A prolonged aPTT means that clotting is taking longer to occur than normal and may be due to deficiency of clotting factors such as von Willebrand disease, hemophilia, lupus anticoagulant or liver disease.
He needs to be further evaluated to determine the exact cause behind the rise in aPTT.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali
