Introduction to the Thrombophilia Profile Test
The Thrombophilia Profile Test is a critical diagnostic tool used to evaluate the risk of abnormal blood clotting disorders. These disorders can lead to severe complications such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). Understanding your risk factors through this test can help in early diagnosis and management, ultimately preventing life-threatening conditions.
What Does the Test Measure?
This comprehensive test measures various components related to coagulation, including:
- Protein C (Functional)
- Protein S Antigen (Free)
- Antithrombin Activity (Functional)
- Factor V Leiden Mutation
- Prothrombin Gene Mutation
- MTHFR Gene Mutation

The Thrombophilia Profile Test is recommended for individuals who exhibit the following symptoms or risk factors:
- Family history of thrombosis or clotting disorders
- Unexplained blood clots
- Recurrent miscarriages
- Prolonged immobilization or surgery
