Protein S is functioning normally, helping to keep clotting regulated and prevent inappropriate clot formation in your vessels.
Protein S works alongside Protein C to keep clotting in check. At critically low levels, your blood's anticoagulant system has nearly failed, creating an very high risk of life-threatening clots.
This is a medical emergency. Seek immediate medical care.
Protein S: {{value}} {{unit}} — critically low (ref: {{low}}–{{high}})Protein S deficiency raises your risk of blood clots forming in veins. It can be inherited or acquired (through pregnancy, oral contraceptives, vitamin K deficiency, or liver disease). It often runs in families.
Get tested for thrombophilia. Discuss preventive strategies with your doctor, especially during pregnancy, surgery, or immobility.
Protein S: {{value}} {{unit}} — below reference range (ref: {{low}}–{{high}})Protein S is marginally below the reference range. This represents a mild increase in clotting tendency that may not cause symptoms but is worth monitoring.
Discuss with your doctor, particularly if you have a clotting history or are planning pregnancy or surgery.
Protein S: {{value}} {{unit}} — borderline lowProtein S is functioning normally, helping to keep clotting regulated and prevent inappropriate clot formation in your vessels.
No action needed.
Protein S: {{value}} {{unit}} — within reference rangeYour Protein S is in the optimal range, providing good natural protection against venous clots.
Excellent result. No concerns.
Protein S: {{value}} {{unit}} — optimalMarginally elevated Protein S is not clinically significant and does not cause health problems.
No action required.
Protein S: {{value}} {{unit}} — borderline elevatedHigh Protein S doesn't cause clinical problems. It may simply reflect normal biological variation.
No treatment required. Mention to your doctor for completeness.
Protein S: {{value}} {{unit}} — elevated (ref: {{low}}–{{high}})Very high Protein S is an unusual finding that may reflect an inflammatory state, certain malignancies, or a lab issue. It doesn't typically cause bleeding.
Confirm with a repeat test and discuss with your hematologist.
