What is the maximum days the report can be obtained for the test

The maximum days the report can be obtained for the test Activated Protein C Resistance (APCR) Test is typically 7-10 business days.

What are the prerequisites for the test Activated Protein C Resistance (APCR) Test

  • There are no specific prerequisites for the Activated Protein C Resistance (APCR) Test.
  • However, it is important to inform your healthcare provider about any medications you are taking, as certain medications can affect the test results.
  • It is also recommended to fast for at least 12 hours before the test, as food intake can interfere with the accuracy of the results.
  • Inform your healthcare provider if you have any bleeding disorders or are currently pregnant, as these factors can also affect the test results.

What are the measure values for the test Activated Protein C Resistance (APCR) Test

  • Normal Range: 2.0 to 3.0
  • Positive Result: Less than 2.0
  • Negative Result: Greater than 3.0

What does this test Activated Protein C Resistance (APCR) Test identify?

The Activated Protein C Resistance (APCR) Test is a blood test that is used to identify a genetic mutation that can increase the risk of developing blood clots. This mutation affects the body's ability to produce a protein called activated protein C, which helps to regulate blood clotting. Individuals with this mutation are at an increased risk of developing conditions such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism.

Why is this test Activated Protein C Resistance (APCR) Test taken?

Activated Protein C Resistance (APCR) Test

The Activated Protein C Resistance (APCR) test is taken to determine if a person has a higher risk of developing blood clots. APCR is a condition where blood clots form more easily due to a decreased ability of the protein C pathway to regulate blood clotting. This can lead to an increased risk of developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism, or other clotting disorders.

The test measures the ability of the protein C pathway to regulate blood clotting by comparing the clotting time in the presence and absence of activated protein C. APCR can be caused by genetic factors, such as the Factor V Leiden mutation, or acquired conditions, such as pregnancy or certain medications.

Knowing if a person has APCR can help healthcare providers make decisions about treatment and prevention of blood clots. It can also be important for individuals with a family history of clotting disorders or those who have experienced blood clots in the past.
