Principle of the Test
The ThromboTek PSe method is similar to a standard factor assay. Dilutions of normal plasma are mixed with Protein S depleted plasma and activated Protein C. After a two minute incubation clotting of the plasma mixture is initiated by addition of an activator reagent that contains rabbit thromboplastin. Under these conditions, the prolongation of clotting time is directly proportional to the concentration of Protein S in the patient plasma.
Protein S deficiency can be both congenital and acquired. Protein S deficiency contributes to hypercoagulability and subsequent susceptibility to venous thromboembolism.
Reporting Units
ThromboTek PSe results are in % Protein S, where 100% Protein S is the activity assumed to be present in pooled normal plasma.
