Frequently Asked Questions
Is fasting required for Factor V Activity Assay?
No, fasting is not required for this coagulation test. Sample can be collected at any time of day.
What does Factor V Activity measure?
It measures the functional clotting activity of Factor V (proaccelerin) in the coagulation cascade, helping detect deficiency or dysfibrinogenemia.
What causes low Factor V activity?
Liver disease, vitamin K deficiency, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), and inherited Factor V deficiency can all lower activity levels.
What is Factor V Leiden and how is it different?
Factor V Leiden is a genetic mutation causing resistance to activated Protein C. The Activity Assay measures functional clotting ability, while Factor V Leiden is a separate genetic mutation test.
How is the sample collected?
Blood is drawn from a vein into a citrate tube (light blue top). The sample is centrifuged and plasma is tested using an optical clot-based methodology.
What is the typical turnaround time?
Reports are available within 24 hours via www.drpatholab.in or WhatsApp/Email after sample collection.
