German term
PTT, PTZ
German to English
Medical
Medical: Cardiology
Vascular disease context
Bilirubin, Amylase, Quick, PTT, PTZ
These are a series of bloe tests.
My dictionary gives several meanings for PTT one of them partial prothrombin time is the same as PTZ (partielle Prothrombinzeit). I wonder if there is
a reason for this repetition... or if PTT is something different...
Thank you.

Selected
partielle Thromboplastinzeit, Plasmathrombinzeit
PTZ is rarely used for partial thromboplastin time; and if PTT also appears in your text (for partial thromboplastin time), PTZ is plasma thrombin time.

: My error: PTT and PTZ are two different tests. It's a bit strange to have t for time and z for zeit in the other term.

PTT=PTZ
Hi! The same problem here . I am unable to figure out why are PTT and PTZ are there at the same time , when they mean the same thing !!Still I'll take some more time and look up . Let's not neglect it.
Discussion
of the translations in the dictionary is partial thromboplastin time!
Thanks
