About This Test
An imbalance between procoagulant system and regulatory mechanisms can cause excessive fibrin production leading to Thrombosis. These imbalances can be genetic or acquired or due to a combination of both leading to excessive fibrin formation at the site of injury with vessel occlusion and thrombus formation. Major risk factor for arterial thrombosis is atherosclerosis while for venous thrombosis, the risk factors include immobility, surgery, malignancy, hormone therapy, obesity and genetic factors.

The Thrombotic Risk Screen test is important because it helps identify individuals at increased risk of abnormal blood clot formation (thrombosis), which can prevent serious complications such as deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, or stroke.
TAT Policy
The Turnaround Time (TAT) depends on the following factors:
- Registration date and time
- Type of scan or test
