Protein C Activity Functional near me in Dehradun

The Protein C Activity Functional test measures the activity of protein C, a natural anticoagulant in the blood. It helps assess the risk of abnormal blood clot formation and is commonly used in evaluating unexplained or recurrent clotting disorders. This test is widely available in Dehradun with Tata 1mg labs at an affordable price.

The Protein C Activity Functional test may be recommended for individuals with unexplained or repeated blood clots, recurrent miscarriages, or a family history of clotting disorders (thrombophilia). It also helps distinguish whether protein C deficiency is inherited or acquired due to conditions such as liver disease, vitamin K deficiency, severe infections, or use of anticoagulant medications like warfarin. By measuring protein C activity, this test provides key information for diagnosing clotting disorders and planning suitable treatment.

For the Protein C Activity Functional test, with prior approval from the doctor, discontinue heparin 1 day before and oral anticoagulants 7 days before testing, as these drugs may interfere with results. A duly filled coagulation requisition form (Annexure - CR/05) is required for sample collection. Overnight fasting is preferred, but not mandatory. Providing complete clinical details and medication history or a doctor’s prescription is essential for accurate interpretation of results.
