FREE PROTEIN S
What does FREE PROTEIN S measure?
The Free Protein S test measures the active, unbound form of protein S in the blood. Protein S is a natural protein that helps regulate blood clotting. This test may be used to evaluate possible inherited or acquired protein S deficiency, particularly when there is a history of unusual or recurrent blood clots. Results are interpreted alongside clinical history and other clotting-related tests.
