- Factor Ix Activity
The Factor IX Activity Plasma Test measures the activity of Factor IX, a protein necessary for blood clotting. It is used to diagnose and monitor hemophilia B and other clotting disorders.
Individuals with a family history of hemophilia B, unexplained bleeding, or prolonged clotting times should consider this test. It is also recommended for monitoring treatment in hemophilia patients.
A blood sample is collected and analyzed using a clot-based assay to measure Factor IX activity levels.
Low Factor IX activity suggests hemophilia B or other clotting disorders, while high levels may indicate an acute-phase response or thrombosis.
Abnormal results may require additional coagulation tests, genetic counseling, and possible treatment with clotting factor concentrates or gene therapy.
