This test measures how effectively your blood responds to activated protein C, a natural anticoagulant that helps prevent excessive clot formation. Abnormal results can indicate a genetic predisposition to clotting disorders, increasing the risk of conditions such as deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, or recurrent miscarriages. Blood is collected, and results are interpreted alongside other coagulation studies and clinical history. Early detection allows healthcare providers to recommend preventive strategies, lifestyle modifications, or medications such as anticoagulants to reduce clotting risk. Understanding your protein C resistance helps patients make informed decisions about long-term health, enables careful monitoring of clotting tendencies, and supports safe management strategies for individuals with a family or personal history of thrombotic events.
This test measures Bence-Jones proteins in urine or blood, which can indicate abnormal plasma cell activity such as multiple myeloma. Blood or urine is collected and analysed to detect these proteins. Early detection helps healthcare providers diagnose plasma cell disorders, monitor disease progression, and guide treatment. Patients benefit from timely intervention, tailored therapy, and close monitoring to prevent organ damage and manage long-term outcomes effectively.
