Protein S Antigen Total Test: Your Essential Protection Against Blood Clotting Risks
Living with the uncertainty of potential blood clotting disorders can be overwhelming. Many South Africans experience unexplained symptoms without understanding the underlying cause. The Protein S Antigen Total Test provides the clarity and peace of mind you deserve, offering comprehensive screening for one of the body’s most critical natural anticoagulants.
Understanding Your Protein S Antigen Total Test
Protein S is a vital protein in your blood that helps prevent excessive clotting. When Protein S levels are too low, your risk of developing dangerous blood clots increases significantly. Our test uses advanced immunoturbidimetric technology to measure your total Protein S antigen levels with exceptional accuracy, giving you reliable insights into your clotting health.
This isn’t just another blood test – it’s your proactive defence against potentially life-threatening conditions like deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism that affect thousands of South Africans each year.
