    What Is an Antithrombin III (ATIII), Plasma Test?

    The Antithrombin (AT) 3 blood test is used to measure the levels of the antithrombin 3 protein in the blood. This protein plays a role in regulating blood clotting within the body. The test is often carried out to investigate unexplained or recurrent abnormal blood clot formation in conditions like deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE).

    A deficiency in antithrombin 3 can elevate the risk of dangerous blood clots. There are two types of AT deficiency: type 1, where there is a reduced production of antithrombin, and type 2, where levels are normal but the function is impaired.

    This test is crucial for diagnosing AT deficiency and determining the appropriate treatment. In Hyderabad, individuals needing this test for clotting issues can arrange for an Antithrombin 3 test home.

    Antithrombin III (ATIII), Plasma Test Parameters

    The test measures the amount of the clotting protein, antithrombin 3, in the blood.

    Antithrombin is a protein that regulates clotting by inhibiting thrombin and other clotting factors. It is vital in preventing excessive clot formation and ensuring a balance between clotting and bleeding. A deficiency in antithrombin, often caused by genetic mutations, can increase the risk of abnormal blood clots, such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism. Although rare, this condition can lead to serious complications if not properly managed.

    • Cautions Before Taking an Antithrombin 3 Test

It is important to inform your doctor about these treatments. Additionally, be sure to tell your doctor about any medications or supplements you are currently taking.
