What causes high Thrombin Time and low Monocytes?

High Thrombin Time and low Monocytes can be caused by many reasons.

If your Thrombin Time is in between 14 sec and 23 sec and your Monocytes is in between 2 % and 10 % then you need not worry as these are the normal ranges for Thrombin Time and Monocytes 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 Thrombin Time levels include:

• Anticoagulation drug (warfarin) therapy
• Vitamin K abnormality
• Decreased or defective factor I (fibrinogen), II (prothrombin), V or X
• Hemophilia A and hemophilia B
• Autoantibody against a specific factor (e.g., factor VIII)

Normal range of Thrombin Time : 14 - 23 sec

High Thrombin Time and low Monocytes can be caused by a lot of reasons. If you take Thrombin Time and Monocytes blood tests and the results are higher than 23 sec for Thrombin Time and lower than 2 % for Monocytes, your physician may recommend more tests to figure out the problem. You might also get these tests if your physician thinks you have some other disease.
