Q. What is protein S, and why is it important?
Protein S 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 S Functional Assay Test?
Individuals with a family history of blood clotting disorders, recurrent blood clots, or suspected protein S deficiency may require this Protein S Functional Assay Test

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

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

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

Q. Is the Protein S Functional Assay Test accurate?
Yes, this test is highly accurate in measuring protein S 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 S Functional Assay Test?
Results are typically available within a few days after sample collection, allowing for prompt evaluation and discussion with your doctor
