Start with fit

Is this the right test for you?

The best test starts with a clear clinical question. These are common reasons a clinician or family may consider this test.

  • ✓Personal or family history of venous thromboembolism (VTE)
  • ✓Unexplained recurrent blood clots
  • ✓Symptoms suggestive of clotting disorders
  • ✓Evaluation before major surgery or during pregnancy
  • ✓Patients with certain medical conditions increasing clotting risk
  • ✓Investigation of arterial thrombosis in younger individuals

In plain language

What this test helps you understand

To assess an individual's risk of developing blood clots (thrombosis) by evaluating multiple factors involved in the coagulation cascade. This helps identify potential inherited or acquired thrombophilias.
The Thrombophilia Total Profile Test is a comprehensive diagnostic tool used to assess the risk of developing blood clots (thrombosis). It examines various factors involved in the blood clotting process, helping to identify potential inherited or acquired conditions that increase this risk. Early detection of thrombophilia is important for managing potential complications.

This test measures several key components, including Protein C (Functional), Protein S Antigen (Free), Antithrombin Activity (Functional), Mixing Studies APTT, and a Lupus Anticoagulant Panel. These measurements provide a detailed picture of your coagulation system's function.

Understanding your coagulation status can help in making informed decisions about preventive measures and potential treatments, offering peace of mind and guiding appropriate healthcare management. Results are interpreted by qualified hematologists, and discussion with your healthcare provider is essential for understanding their implications.

SampleBlood sample collected in specific tubes (e.g., citrate tubes for coagulation studies). Confirm specific tube types with the laboratory before booking.
MethodologyA combination of laboratory techniques including functional assays (e.g., Protein C, Antithrombin), antigen assays (e.g., Protein S), and coagulation tests (e.g., APTT, Lupus Anticoagulant Panel).

Questions people ask

Frequently asked questions

Thrombophilia is a condition where there is an increased tendency for blood to clot, potentially leading to thrombosis (blood clots in blood vessels).
This profile tests multiple factors involved in blood clotting (Protein C, Protein S, Antithrombin, Lupus Anticoagulant) to provide a broader assessment of thrombotic risk.
Overnight fasting is preferred for optimal results. Please confirm specific requirements with the laboratory.
Certain medications, especially anticoagulants, may interfere with the test. Please consult your doctor and inform the laboratory about all medications you are taking.
Results are interpreted by hematologists and should be discussed with your healthcare provider to understand their significance in your specific clinical situation.
