Guest guest Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 I had this down pat, or so I thought, but am no longer sure which is which .... My glossary, collected over many years, says: PT Eng prothrombin time PTT Eng partial thromboplastin time PTZ Ger partielle Thromboplastinzeit Ger Prothrombinzeit My German text talks about Quick, PTT & PTZ increasing/decreasing/not doing a jolly thing under a variety of treatments. My glossary seems a little schizophrenic, but so does the text. Since nowhere are any actual numbers listed to confirm what they mean by which term, and this text is quite poorly written anyway (not only has the author never heard of gender and number agreement, but the text is chock-full of statements such as: " There were no differences between the 2 groups, but the PTT was higher on average in group B " - I mean, come on!), could anyone suggest how to understand PTT and PTZ here?
