What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing unexplained bruising, bleeding, or symptoms that could point to a blood clotting problem. It's often used when there's concern about a serious clotting disorder called Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC), or a blood vessel blockage condition known as Acute Occlusive Vascular Disease. It helps identify whether your blood is breaking down clots abnormally, which can be a sign of an underlying medical issue that needs attention.

What's included in this test?

This test measures how much your body's clot-dissolving system is breaking down blood clots, which can reveal abnormal clotting activity happening in your bloodstream. Elevated levels can be a warning sign of serious conditions where clots are forming and breaking down faster than normal, so this single measurement gives a meaningful window into your blood's clotting behavior.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will show up in your online account, with each value's normal range clearly explained so you know exactly where you stand. If your result falls outside the expected range, the report will explain what that means, and if the level is significantly elevated, you should seek medical care right away since this can signal a serious clotting issue. You can download a standard lab report from your account at any time, and if you retest in the future, the trends feature lets you track changes over time.

How can I naturally support healthy blood clotting?

Staying well hydrated helps keep your blood flowing smoothly and reduces strain on your circulatory system. Regular movement, like walking or light exercise, encourages healthy blood flow and lowers clotting risk, especially if you sit for long periods. Eating a balanced diet with plenty of vegetables, healthy fats, and limiting excess processed foods can also support normal blood function over time.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically ready within about 7 days of your blood draw. Once processed, they'll be uploaded directly to your online account where you can view and download them. You'll be able to see your value alongside the normal reference range to understand what it means.

Who should consider this test?

This test is a good option for anyone with symptoms like unusual bruising, prolonged bleeding, or swelling that could suggest a clotting disorder. It's also useful if you have risk factors for vascular blockages or have been advised to monitor your body's clotting activity. Because it's a specific screening test, it's most relevant when there's a specific concern about DIC or vascular disease rather than as a routine check.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Signs like unexplained bruising, bleeding gums, blood in urine or stool, or sudden swelling and pain in a limb can all point to a clotting issue worth checking. Shortness of breath or chest pain combined with these symptoms can indicate a more urgent vascular problem, and you should seek medical care immediately if this happens. Persistent or unusual bleeding after minor cuts is another sign this test could be helpful.

What is Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation and why does it matter?

Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation, or DIC, is a condition where your body's clotting system becomes overactive throughout your bloodstream, using up clotting resources faster than they can be replaced. This can lead to both excessive clotting and excessive bleeding at the same time, which is why it's considered a serious condition. Catching it early through testing can make a big difference in how quickly it's addressed.

What does a high result mean?

A high result means your body is breaking down blood clots at a faster rate than normal, which can point to conditions like DIC or a vascular blockage. This isn't something to manage on your own — if your level is significantly elevated, seek medical care right away. Simple lifestyle steps like staying hydrated and avoiding prolonged immobility can support healthy circulation while you figure out next steps.

How often should I retest?

Retesting frequency really depends on your individual situation and whether you're monitoring a known concern or investigating new symptoms. If your first result was normal and you have no ongoing symptoms, you likely don't need frequent retesting. If you're tracking a suspected clotting issue, retesting every few weeks or as symptoms change can help you and your results history show a clearer pattern over time.
