Factor Xiii Qualitative Screening Test
Overview of Factor Xiii Qualitative Screening Test in Pathanamthitta
What is the Factor XIII Activity test?
This test measures the activity level of Factor XIII, a clotting protein essential for stabilizing fibrin clots in the final stage of coagulation.
Why is the test performed?
It is used to diagnose congenital or acquired Factor XIII deficiency in individuals with unexplained bleeding, poor wound healing, or recurrent pregnancy loss.
What sample is needed, and how is it collected?
A citrated plasma sample is collected via venipuncture. The plasma is analyzed for its clot-stabilizing capability.
How are the results interpreted?
Low activity levels suggest Factor XIII deficiency, while normal results may help rule it out in the differential diagnosis of bleeding disorders.
Is any special preparation needed before the test?
No specific preparation is needed, but a full clinical history including medications and bleeding symptoms is useful.
