Quest DiagnosticsWhat this laboratory test evaluates
DetailsPlasminogen Activity – Decreased plasminogen activity may be inherited or acquired. Acquired deficiencies may occur with: tranexamic acid and L-asparginase use, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), liver disease, during and after thrombolytic therapy, sepsis, and hyperthyroidism. Plasminogen activity is developmentally regulated, reaching adult levels at approximately 6 months of age. As a positive acute phase reactant, increased levels are associated with infection, trauma, surgery, inflammation, and malignancy.
What type of sample is required for this test?1 mL frozen platelet-poor plasma collected in a 3.2% sodium citrate (light blue-top) tube

How Sunridge uses laboratory information
Sunridge considers the medical question, symptoms, history, medications, prior results, and whether the finding could change care before recommending testing. A laboratory result is not interpreted in isolation and does not establish a diagnosis by itself.
