The aPTT-based APC resistance test involves a modified aPTT test performed in the presence and absence of activated protein C (APC). [1] [5] The ratio of these aPTT values is calculated and is called the APC sensitivity ratio (APCsr) or simply APC ratio (APCr). [1] [5] This ratio is inversely related to the degree of APC resistance. [7]
The partial thromboplastin time (PTT), also known as the activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT or APTT), is a blood test that characterizes coagulation of the blood. A historical name for this measure is the Kaolin-cephalin clotting time ( KCCT ), [ 1 ] reflecting kaolin and cephalin as materials historically used in the test.
These tests include prothrombin time (PT/INR), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), albumin, bilirubin (direct and indirect), and others. The liver transaminases aspartate transaminase (AST or SGOT) and alanine transaminase (ALT or SGPT) are useful biomarkers of liver injury in a patient with some degree of intact liver function.
For people with high blood pressure, the AHA recommends consuming no more than 1,500 mg of sodium per day. When you’re reading labels, look at the Daily Value percentage for sodium and aim for ...

Fresh normal plasma has all the blood coagulation factors with normal levels. If the problem is a simple factor deficiency, mixing the patient plasma 1:1 with plasma that contains 100% of the normal factor level results in a level ≥50% in the mixture (say the patient has an activity of 0%; the average of 100% + 0% = 50%). [3]
The severe calorie restriction (1000 calories a day) may lead to short-term weight loss, but the diet does not have a long-term impact on health or weight reduction.
A long-term (more than 4-week) low-sodium diet is effective in reducing blood pressure, both in people with hypertension and in people with normal blood pressure. [17] Also, the DASH diet , a diet rich in nuts, whole grains, fish, poultry, fruit and vegetables, lowers blood pressure. [ 18 ]
