Asked By:Sociable99263 in Bacoor, Philippines

PTT is prolonged am I still allowed to undergo surgery - Hi my PTT test was 3 seconds outside the normal/ reference value, asked a doctor about this and said they wouldn’t worry about this too much as it is still not an abnormal result and is insignificant. I would like to ask from a surgeon’s perspective if i would still be allowed to undergo rhinoplasty if my PTT was 3secs outside the normal value? My PT was normal as well as my other lab tests result. I have no current and previous medical issues and i have no smoking/alcohol problems. Thank you!

Answer: When a blood test is abnormal, sometimes it's best to repeat it.
