Tests for protein C and protein S are two separate tests that are often performed together to help investigate a possible excessive clotting (hypercoagulable) disorder and/or to help diagnose the cause of an inappropriate blood clot such as deep venous thrombosis (DVT) or a venous thromboembolism (VTE).Normally, protein S combines with protein C and together they help control blood clot formation. However, if there is not enough protein C or S or they are not functioning normally, clot formation can go unchecked, possibly leading to an excessive clotting disorder.Testing is used to evaluate people who have unexplained blood clots or a family history of blood clots, especially if the blood clot occurs in a relatively young person (less than 5 years old) or has formed in an unusual location, such as the veins leading to the liver or kidney or the blood vessels of the brain. It may also be used when someone has had multiple miscarriages. While immediate treatment of the VTE does not depend on the test result, a health practitioner will want to determine the cause and the likelihood of recurrent clotting once the affected person's condition has stabilized.
