My PTT is 24.132 and PT is 19.8 with a range of 10.45-13.17, plus my INR is 1.66. What treatment can help bring these levels back to normal? Should I be concerned about these results? I'm scheduled for a minor hydrocele removal surgery is it safe to proceed with these numbers?

greetings. PTT,PT are raised thatis clotting time will be increased. It must be dueto liver problem, some hepatitis, or liver damage due to alcohol r NFLIVER damage. Please ask the hematologists. Though hernia is minor and short operation, but still ask hematologists

I'm a little concerned about my haemoglobin levels. They're at 18.5, and they've been above 18 for over a year now. Is this something I should be worried about, or is it within a normal range? Would really appreciate some advice on this.

A hemoglobin level of 18.5 is higher than the normal range (13.5-17.5 gdL for adult males and 12-16 gdL for adult females), suggesting polycythemia, a condition that may be primary (bone marrow disorder) or secondary (response to chronic hypoxia, testosterone abuse, or other medical conditions); consult a hematologist to rule out underlying causes and discuss potential treatment options, such as phlebotomy or medication.
