What causes high APTT and low Triglycerides?

High APTT and low Triglycerides can be caused by many reasons.

If your APTT is in between 22 seconds and 35 seconds and your Triglycerides is in between 40 mg/dL and 150 mg/dL then you need not worry as these are the normal ranges for APTT and Triglycerides respectively. But if your levels are lesser or greater than the above values, then there may be some problem in your body.

Some examples of conditions that can increase or decrease APTT levels include:

• Liver disease
• Vitamin K abnormality
• Decreased or defective factor I (fibrinogen), II (prothrombin), V or X
• Hemophilia A and hemophilia B
• Willebrand disease
