Q. What is protein C, and what does it do in the body?
Protein C is a natural anticoagulant that helps regulate blood clotting by inhibiting the clotting process. It plays a crucial role in preventing excessive clot formation

Q. Who might need to undergo a Protein C Functional Assay Test?
Individuals with a family history of blood clotting disorders, recurrent blood clots, or suspected protein C deficiency may require this Protein C Functional Assay Test

Q. How is the Protein C Functional Assay Test performed?
The Protein C Functional Assay Test involves collecting a blood sample and measuring the activity level of protein C in the bloodstream using specialized laboratory techniques

Q. What do abnormal results of the Protein C Functional Assay Test indicate?
Abnormal results may suggest conditions such as protein C deficiency, increased risk of blood clot formation (thrombosis), or ineffective anticoagulant therapy

Q. Can medications or medical conditions affect Protein C Functional Assay Test results?
Yes, certain medications, medical conditions, and lifestyle factors may influence protein C activity levels, potentially affecting test results

Q. Is the Protein C Functional Assay Test accurate?
Yes, this Protein C Functional Assay Test is highly accurate in measuring protein C activity levels and providing valuable information for diagnosing and managing blood clotting disorders

Q. How long does it take to receive results from the Protein C Functional Assay Test?
Results are typically available within a few days after sample collection, allowing for prompt evaluation and discussion with your doctor
