Frequently Asked Questions

This test assesses resistance to activated protein C, commonly due to Factor V Leiden mutation, which increases the risk of thrombosis.

It is used in evaluating unexplained blood clots, recurrent miscarriages, or familial thrombophilia.

A citrated plasma sample from venous blood is analyzed using coagulation-based methods.

Reduced sensitivity to activated protein C suggests a higher risk of clotting and possible genetic mutations.

Avoid anticoagulants before the test as they can affect results. Follow medical advice accordingly.
