ANTITHROMBIN ACTIVITY FUNCTIONAL Test
Test Cost: AED 680.0
Test Name
ANTITHROMBIN ACTIVITY FUNCTIONAL Test
Components
- Price: 680.0 AED
Sample Condition
3 mL whole blood in 1 Blue Top (Sodium Citrate) tube. Mix thoroughly by inversion. Transport to Lab within 4 hours. If this is not possible, make PPP within 1 hour of collection as follows: Centrifuge sample at 3600 rpm for 15 min. & transfer supernatant to a clean plastic tube. Centrifuge this supernatant again at 3600 rpm for 15 mins. & finally transfer the supernatant (PPP) to 1 labelled, clean plastic screw capped vial. FREEZE IMMEDIATELY. Ship frozen. DO NOT THAW. Overnight fasting is preferred. Duly filled Coagulation Requisition Form (Form 15) is mandatory.

Pre Test Information
Overnight fasting is preferred. It is recommended that the patient, after consulting a physician, discontinues Heparin for 1 day and Oral anticoagulants for 7 days prior to sampling as these drugs may affect test results. Duly filled Coagulation Requisition Form (Form 15) is mandatory.
Test Details
The Antithrombin activity functional test is a laboratory test that measures the functional activity of antithrombin in the blood. Antithrombin is a protein that inhibits the activity of several blood clotting factors, including thrombin. This test is used to evaluate the effectiveness of antithrombin in preventing excessive blood clotting.
The test involves adding a known amount of thrombin to a plasma sample and measuring the time it takes for the thrombin to clot the plasma. Normally, antithrombin inhibits the clotting activity of thrombin, resulting in a longer clotting time. If the antithrombin activity is reduced or absent, the clotting time will be shorter.
The antithrombin activity functional test is primarily used to diagnose and monitor conditions that affect the production or function of antithrombin, such as antithrombin deficiency, liver disease, or disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). It can also be used to monitor the effectiveness of antithrombin replacement therapy in patients with antithrombin deficiency or other clotting disorders.
The results of the test are usually reported as a percentage of normal antithrombin activity. A lower percentage indicates reduced antithrombin activity and an increased risk of blood clotting. However, it is important to interpret the results in conjunction with the patient’s clinical history and other laboratory tests to determine the underlying cause of the abnormal antithrombin activity.
