PROTEIN S ANTIGEN TOTAL Test – Cost, Symptoms, Diagnosis
Are you concerned about your blood clotting? The PROTEIN S ANTIGEN TOTAL test offered by DNA Labs UAE can help diagnose and monitor conditions that affect blood clotting, such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism, and thrombophilia. This comprehensive laboratory test measures the level of protein S in your blood, a natural anticoagulant protein that helps regulate blood clotting.
Test Details
The PROTEIN S ANTIGEN TOTAL test is performed using the immunoturbidimetric method. It measures the level of protein S in the blood to determine if there are any abnormalities that may indicate a higher risk of blood clot formation. This test is often performed alongside other tests, such as the protein S activity test, to provide a comprehensive evaluation of protein S function.
Test Cost
The cost of the PROTEIN S ANTIGEN TOTAL test at DNA Labs UAE is AED 2380.0.
Symptoms and Diagnosis
Abnormal protein S levels can indicate a higher risk of blood clot formation. If you are experiencing symptoms such as swelling, pain, or redness in your legs, shortness of breath, or chest pain, it is important to consult with a hematologist. They will evaluate your symptoms and may recommend the PROTEIN S ANTIGEN TOTAL test to further assess your condition.
Sample Collection
The PROTEIN S ANTIGEN TOTAL test requires a 3mL whole blood sample collected in a 1 Blue Top (Sodium Citrate) tube. The sample should be mixed thoroughly by inversion and transported to the lab within 4 hours. If immediate transportation is not possible, the sample should be centrifuged at 3600rpm for 15 minutes. The supernatant should be transferred to a clean plastic tube and centrifuged again. Finally, the supernatant (PPP) should be transferred to a labeled clean plastic screw-capped vial and immediately frozen. It is recommended to fast overnight before sample collection.
Report Delivery
The sample should be sent to the lab by the 7th of the month, and the report will be delivered after 2-3 weeks.
Pre Test Information
Before undergoing the PROTEIN S ANTIGEN TOTAL test, it is important to fill out the Coagulation Requisition Form (Form 15) and the Test Send Out Consent Form. Overnight fasting is preferred before the test.
