Take Control of Your Cardiovascular Health with the PAI-1 Test
Are you concerned about your risk of blood clots or cardiovascular complications? Many South Africans live with undiagnosed clotting disorders that can silently threaten their health. The Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) test provides the clarity you need to understand your body’s natural clot-dissolving capabilities and take proactive steps toward better health.
Understanding Your PAI-1 Test
The PAI-1 test measures the levels of Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1 in your blood – a protein that plays a crucial role in your body’s ability to dissolve blood clots. When PAI-1 levels are elevated, your natural clot-dissolving system becomes less effective, increasing your risk of thrombosis and related cardiovascular complications.
Think of PAI-1 as your body’s natural brake on the clot-dissolving process. When this brake is too strong, clots can form more easily and persist longer than they should. Our test gives you and your healthcare provider valuable insights into this critical balance within your circulatory system.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Recurrent blood clots or thrombosis
- Family history of clotting disorders
- Unexplained swelling or pain in your limbs
- Previous cardiovascular events
- Metabolic syndrome or insulin resistance
- Obesity or significant weight concerns
- Planning major surgery with increased clot risk
- Taking medications that affect blood clotting
Early detection through PAI-1 testing can help prevent serious complications like deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, or stroke.
