Thrombocheck Mini

What is Thrombocheck Mini test?

The Thrombocheck Mini test is a screening panel for thrombophilia, designed to evaluate both inherited and acquired risk factors that can lead to abnormal blood clot formation (thrombosis). This test provides a focused assessment of major coagulation proteins and factors involved in the body’s natural anticoagulant system. It helps detect conditions that increase the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), or recurrent pregnancy loss due to abnormal clotting tendencies.

Parameter Covered: FACTOR V MUTATION, PROTEIN C ACTIVITY, PROTEIN S ACTIVITY, ANTITHROMBIN III ACTIVITY, FACTOR VIII, HOMOCYSTEINE

Why consider Thrombocheck Mini test?

• To screen for inherited or acquired thrombophilia in individuals with a history of clotting disorders.
• To assess risk before pregnancy, major surgery, or hormonal therapy.
• To identify causes of recurrent miscarriages or unexplained venous thromboembolism (VTE).
• To guide preventive and long-term management of clotting risks.

Who should get tested for Thrombocheck Mini test?

• Individuals with unexplained or early-onset blood clots.
• Those with a family history of thrombosis or genetic clotting disorders.
• Women with pregnancy complications or recurrent miscarriages.
• Patients with elevated D-dimer or abnormal coagulation results without clear cause.

Thrombophilia is a medical condition in which the blood has an increased tendency to form abnormal clots (thrombi) in veins or arteries. These clots can partially or completely block normal blood flow, leading to serious health problems such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), stroke, or recurrent pregnancy loss. Thrombophilia can be inherited (genetic) or acquired (developed later in life).

Types of Thrombophilia

1. Inherited (Genetic) Thrombophilia: Caused by genetic mutations passed from parents to children.
2. Acquired Thrombophilia: Develops later due to medical conditions or external factors.
