PTT blood test high?

None of those things seem very likely to elevate your PTT. If it persists you'll need someone, perhaps a hematologist, to help you figure it out.

The only thing I can think of as being gut related is malabsorbtion of vitamin K, which is important for clotting factors. The colon absorbs some of it, so the lack of a colon, along with a possibility of poor absorbtion could lead to vitamin K deficiency and clotting dysfunction. It is pretty rare though. Most of our vitamin K is made by bacteria in the gut.

Further testing is necessary to rule out underlying diseases, like lupus or liver dysfunction. But, if your liver enzymes were OK, it probably is not the liver.

 

The main thing is that you don't want elective surgery if there might be a bleeding tendency!

Thanks for your response.  I am waiting to hear from back from the hematologist.   Not much fun.
