PROTEIN C ACTIVITY

At-home Protein C Activity testing evaluates the functional activity of protein C, a key anticoagulant, to detect increased risk of thrombosis and support clinical decision-making. The service includes trained phlebotomy, secure sample transport, and rapid laboratory turnaround across Dubai and the UAE. Results assist clinicians in diagnosing inherited or acquired Protein C deficiency and tailoring anticoagulant management.

• Protein C activity (%)
• Protein C antigen (if requested)
• Activated Protein C (APC) resistance
• Functional anticoagulant pathway assessment

• Unexplained or recurrent venous thrombosis (DVT/PE)
• Thrombosis at a young age (<50 years)
• Family history of inherited thrombophilia
• Suspected warfarin‑induced skin necrosis or atypical anticoagulant response
• Recurrent pregnancy loss or pregnancy‑related thrombosis

• Detects functional Protein C deficiency to inform diagnosis
• Helps guide initiation and adjustment of anticoagulant therapy
• Supports family screening for inherited thrombophilia
• Convenient at‑home blood draw across Dubai and the UAE
• Fast laboratory turnaround with secure digital reporting

• At‑home venous blood collection by a trained phlebotomist
• Inform clinician of current anticoagulant use; temporary cessation may be required under medical advice
• Avoid testing during an acute thrombotic event or immediately after starting anticoagulation
• No fasting required
