What is Activated Protein C Resistance?

This blood test checks for a condition called Activated Protein C (APC) Resistance, which is a common inherited cause of increased blood clot risk. It assesses how well your blood responds to activated protein C, a natural anticoagulant.

Why is this test important?

Diagnosing APC Resistance is crucial for individuals with a history of unexplained blood clots (thrombosis) or a family history of clotting disorders. Identifying this condition helps in managing risk and preventing future thrombotic events.

How to Prepare

No special preparation is required. However, it is important to inform your doctor about any anticoagulant medications you are taking, as they might affect the test results.
