Thrombophilia Profile-Mini Test

The "Thrombophilia Profile-Mini" is a subset of the Thrombophilia Profile-Maxi, focusing on essential tests to evaluate and diagnose thrombophilic conditions. This profile includes the following key tests: Lupus Anticoagulant: Detects the presence of lupus anticoagulant, which is an antibody that interferes with normal clotting and is associated with an increased risk of thrombosis. Activity of Protein C: Measures the functional activity of Protein C, a natural anticoagulant that helps regulate blood clotting. Activity of Protein S: Measures the functional activity of Protein S, another natural anticoagulant protein that works with Protein C to control clotting. Antithrombin III (AT-III) Activity: Measures the functional activity of AT-III, a critical inhibitor of coagulation factors. Activated Protein C Resistance (APCR): Tests for resistance to activated protein C, which can indicate the presence of a genetic mutation associated with an increased risk of clotting. ACA (Anticardiolipin Antibodies) (IgG / IgM): Detects anticardiolipin antibodies, which are associated with autoimmune-related clotting events. The Thrombophilia Profile-Mini is typically ordered when there is a suspicion of an underlying thrombophilia, unexplained blood clots, or a family history of thrombotic events. It provides valuable information about clotting factors and immune-related markers to help diagnose thrombophilic conditions and guide appropriate treatment strategies. While the Mini profile includes fewer tests than the Maxi profile, it still offers essential information for assessing clotting abnormalities and managing thrombotic risks. Based on the test results, healthcare providers can develop personalized treatment plans to prevent or manage thrombotic events and reduce the risk of complications.
