Thrombophilia Profile Test

Thrombophilia Profile Test

A Thrombophilia Profile Test is a blood test used to assess an individual’s risk of developing abnormal blood clots due to inherited or acquired clotting disorders. Thrombophilia refers to a tendency for the blood to clot more easily than normal, which can increase the risk of conditions such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism, or recurrent miscarriages. The test evaluates various markers and proteins involved in blood clotting, such as Factor V Leiden mutation, Prothrombin gene mutation, Protein C, Protein S, Antithrombin III, and antiphospholipid antibodies.

This test is often recommended for individuals with a personal or family history of unexplained blood clots, clotting at a young age, or recurrent pregnancy loss. It helps healthcare providers understand the underlying cause of abnormal clotting and determine appropriate preventive or therapeutic measures. While not typically used for routine screening, the Thrombophilia Profile Test plays an important role in managing clotting disorders and guiding treatment decisions, especially in high-risk individuals.
