Test Code APCRR Activated Protein C Resistance V (APCRV), with Reflex to Factor V Leiden, Plasma

Useful For

Evaluation of patients with incident or recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE)

 

Evaluation of individuals with a family history of VTE

Profile Information

Test ID Reporting Name Available Separately Always Performed
APCRV Activated Protein Resistance V, P Yes Yes

Reflex Tests

Test ID Reporting Name Available Separately Always Performed
F5DNA Factor V Leiden (R506Q) Mutation, B Yes No
F5DNI APCRV/F5DNA Summary Interpretation No No

Testing Algorithm

If the assay ratio is abnormal, then R506Q mutation will be performed at an additional charge.

When the activated protein C resistance V is abnormal or indeterminate and R506Q mutation assay is reflexed, then a summary interpretation will be provided.

Method Name

Clot-Based Assay
