Protein C Deficiency Profile

This test measures the level and function of Protein C, a substance in your blood that helps regulate clotting. It helps show whether your body has enough of this protein to prevent blood clots from forming when they are not needed. Doctors often use this profile to investigate the cause of unexplained clots or to check for an inherited clotting disorder. However, this test cannot confirm a diagnosis on its own, as recent clotting events or medications like blood thinners can temporarily alter the results.
