What is Protein C Antigen?

The Protein C Antigen test measures the actual amount of Protein C protein present in your blood. Unlike the activity test, it assesses the quantity of the protein rather than its function.

Why is this test important?

This test is often used in conjunction with the Protein C Activity test to help differentiate between various types of Protein C deficiency. It helps determine if the deficiency is due to a low amount of protein or a protein that isn't working correctly.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
