ACTIVATED PROTEIN C RESISTANCE(APC-R), PLASMA Test in Mangaluru Overview
No special preparations needed
- Activated Protein C Resistance
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.
