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

    The Antithrombin (AT) 3 blood test evaluates the concentration of the antithrombin 3 protein in the blood. This protein plays a vital role in managing blood clotting. The test is mainly used to investigate cases of unexplained or recurrent blood clot formation, such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE).

    A deficiency in antithrombin 3 can lead to an increased risk of life-threatening clots. There are two types of AT deficiency: type 1 (low production of antithrombin) and type 2 (normal levels, but impaired function). This test aids in diagnosing AT deficiency and helping to decide on suitable treatment.

    If you reside in Mumbai, you can arrange for an Antithrombin 3 test at home for any clotting concerns.

    Antithrombin III (ATIII), Plasma Test Parameters

    The test measures the concentration of antithrombin 3, a clotting factor protein, in the bloodstream.

    Antithrombin is a protein that regulates clotting by inhibiting thrombin and other clotting factors. It helps prevent excessive clot formation, ensuring a proper balance between clotting and bleeding. A deficiency in antithrombin, typically due to genetic mutations, can increase the likelihood of abnormal blood clots, such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism. Although uncommon, this condition can lead to serious complications if not managed appropriately.

    • Prerequisites

    • Best Time to Get Tested

    You can arrange the Antithrombin 3 test at any time that is most convenient for you.

    • Who Should Get an Antithrombin 3 Test?

    The Antithrombin 3 test is recommended for individuals who experience unexplained or recurrent blood clots, have a family history of antithrombin deficiency, or have early-onset deep vein thrombosis. It is also advised for those with resistance to anticoagulant therapies, such as heparin, or for those being investigated for clotting disorders.

    • Cautions Before Taking an Antithrombin 3 Test

    Recent blood clots or anticoagulant therapy, such as heparin or warfarin, can lower antithrombin levels and affect test accuracy. It is essential to inform your doctor regarding these. Also, inform your doctor regarding the medicines and supplements that you take. Recent blood clots or the use of anticoagulants like heparin or warfarin can decrease antithrombin levels and potentially alter test results. It is essential to inform your doctor about any such treatments. Additionally, make sure to inform your doctor about any medications or supplements you are currently taking.

    Why Take the Antithrombin III (ATIII), Plasma Test?
