What is Protein S Activity?

Protein S is a natural anticoagulant, meaning it helps prevent excessive blood clotting. This test measures how well Protein S is functioning in your blood. It assesses its ability to regulate the clotting process and maintain proper blood flow.

Why is this test important?

Measuring Protein S activity is vital for investigating unexplained blood clots or a family history of clotting disorders. Low activity can indicate a higher risk of thrombosis (blood clot formation), helping guide treatment and preventive strategies.

How to Prepare

Fasting may be required. Please consult your doctor for specific instructions.
