How is Prolonged aPTT Managed in Pediatric Patients?
Management of prolonged aPTT depends on the underlying cause. For children with hemophilia, treatment involves the administration of clotting factor concentrates. In cases of vitamin K deficiency, vitamin K supplementation is provided. If the prolonged aPTT is due to liver disease, managing the liver condition is crucial. In all cases, close monitoring and follow-up are essential.
