The reference range for aspartate aminotransferase (AST) is as follows: 1  Males: 6-34 IU/L. 2  Females: 8-40 IU/L.
Reference values for aPTT vary among laboratories, but generally range between 25 and 38 seconds. The aPTT of a newborn will usually be prolonged and may be up to 55 seconds at birth.It decreases to the adult range by 6 months of age. (Note: each lab has its own reference values based upon the equipment and reagents used.). The aPTT is the most commonly used test to monitor heparin therapy.The therapeutic goal for a patient being anticoagulated with heparin, is an aPTT approximately 1.5 to 2.5 times the mean normal value.Note: each lab has its own reference values based upon the equipment and reagents used.).
