Guest guest Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 I asked my doctor recently if he could run any coagulation tests on me. The only one he offered was the Hereditary Thrombosis Risk Panel. (I'm in the UK.) This measures: Decreased protein C Decreased protein S Decreased anti-thrombin APC resistance/factor V Leiden positivity Increased prothrombin/prothrombin gene mutation positivity Does anyone know if this test is worth having? It is expensive - over £500. [Moderator: For us, it was -- each of the four with CFIDS had at least one of them, my first kid (from ex-wife) had several while I had only one defect -- thus I know what her defects are and her medical issues appear to agree with it. It identify the need to monitor Vit-K for the wife and pointed to which supplements/drugs are needed to counter the genetic defects.] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Which coagulation test or tests did you have Amy? I'm going to try and raise some $$$ for the HTRP Panel -- I hope it doesn't require 18 vials for just one test??? Thanks, Dan > > I had 18 vials of blood for coagulation tests done.
