What is Protein C Activity?

The Protein C Activity test measures how well Protein C, a natural anticoagulant, is functioning in your blood. Protein C helps prevent excessive blood clotting, ensuring your blood flows smoothly.

Why is this test important?

This test is crucial for diagnosing Protein C deficiency, a condition that increases the risk of developing dangerous blood clots (thrombosis). It's often ordered for individuals with unexplained or recurrent clotting episodes.

How to Prepare

No special preparation is typically required, but inform your doctor about any anticoagulant medications you are taking.
