Shortening is pathologically significant

A shortened APTT independently predicts recurrence of VTE www.blackwell-synergy.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1365-2141.2006.06130.x. JFW | T@lk 22:41, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

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).

thanks for correction 130.92.9.56 (talk) 13:46, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

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)
