Test Overview
What is a Protein C Activity Test in Bangalore?
A Protein C Activity Test in Bangalore checks how effectively your body’s Protein C functions to prevent blood clots. Protein C is a natural anticoagulant protein made in the liver that helps regulate blood clotting by deactivating clotting factors Va and VIIIa.
This test measures the activity (function) of Protein C, not just its quantity, helping doctors identify inherited or acquired Protein C deficiency that can lead to conditions like deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), or recurrent pregnancy loss.
The test requires a blood sample collected in a sodium citrate tube, and the plasma is analysed using a chromogenic assay method.
What Does a Protein C Activity Test Measure in Bangalore?
This test helps your doctor evaluate:
- Protein C Function: How effectively Protein C prevents abnormal clot formation.
- Clotting Regulation: Whether your blood is prone to forming clots too easily.
- Deficiency Screening: Detects inherited or acquired Protein C deficiency.
- Response to Treatment: Helps assess the effectiveness of anticoagulant therapy.
- Risk Evaluation: Identifies individuals at higher risk of thrombosis or miscarriage due to clotting disorders.
Protein C Activity Test: Who Needs It and Why It’s Done
Who Should Consider a Protein C Activity Test in Bangalore?
Doctors in Bangalore may recommend this test if you have:
- Unexplained or repeated blood clots (DVT or PE)
- Family history of Protein C deficiency or thrombophilia
- Recurrent pregnancy loss or complications
- Abnormal clotting after surgery or long travel
- Severe clotting symptoms in newborns (purpura fulminans)
It’s also useful for individuals on anticoagulant treatment or with liver disease, where Protein C activity may be altered.
What Is the Purpose of a Protein C Activity Test?
The Protein C Activity Test helps determine whether your blood’s natural anticoagulant system is functioning correctly. It is essential for diagnosing Protein C deficiency, evaluating the risk of venous thrombosis, and guiding treatment decisions involving anticoagulant therapy or pregnancy management.
