Welcome to Ask Stago, The Podcast dedicated to provide expert answers to your expert questions in coagulation.

In this “Back to basics” mini-series, Dr LaShanta Brice will discuss the clinical utility of the three most common parameters tested in the lab, the PT, aPTT and Fibrinogen.

Today we will cover the aPTT assay, a key coagulation test used to assess intrinsic and common clotting pathways, and review its clinical applications, limitations, pre-analytical considerations, and the importance of selecting the right reagent.

Happy listening!
