ADAMTS13 Activity Assay - Von Willebrand Factor (VWF) | Sprint Diagnostics

ADAMTS13 is a protein that plays a crucial role in the process of blood clotting. Its primary function is to cut a larger protein called von Willebrand factor (VWF) into smaller pieces. If ADAMTS13 is deficient or not working correctly, VWF can build up and lead to excessive clotting. The ADAMTS13 activity assay measures the activity of this protein in your blood.

  • Test Name: ADAMTS13 Activity Assay - Von Willebrand Factor (VWF) | Sprint Diagnostics
  • Sample Type: Blood
  • Preparations Required: No specific fasting or preparation is required for this test.
  • Report Time: 3 Days

This test is vital in diagnosing and managing certain conditions that affect blood clotting, particularly a rare but serious condition called thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). Understanding your ADAMTS13 activity can help your healthcare provider devise an appropriate treatment plan if necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions

The ADAMTS13 activity assay is crucial in diagnosing and managing disorders related to blood clotting. By measuring the activity of ADAMTS13, healthcare providers can detect conditions like TTP early, potentially preventing severe complications such as organ damage and stroke.

No, fasting is not typically required for the ADAMTS13 activity assay.

There are no specific preparations needed for the ADAMTS13 activity assay. However, you should inform your healthcare provider about any medications you're taking, as they might affect the test results.

The ADAMTS13 activity assay is often performed when a patient has symptoms suggestive of TTP, such as unexplained bruises, tiny red or purple spots on the skin, weakness, fever, or changes in mental status.

The ADAMTS13 activity assay measures the activity of the ADAMTS13 protein in your blood, which is essential for normal blood clotting.

The frequency of the ADAMTS13 activity assay largely depends on your individual circumstances, especially if you have a diagnosed clotting disorder. Your healthcare provider will guide you on how often you should get tested.

Normal values for ADAMTS13 activity typically range between 68% and 163%, but this can vary between laboratories. Your healthcare provider will interpret your results based on these reference ranges.

There are no special precautions required for the ADAMTS13 activity assay. Just ensure you inform your healthcare provider about any medications you're taking.

Several factors can affect the results of the ADAMTS13 activity assay, including pregnancy, certain medications, and medical conditions such as liver disease.

If the test results are abnormal, indicating a potential issue with blood clotting, you should consult a hematologist for further guidance and treatment.

Yes, certain medications can influence the results of the ADAMTS13 activity assay. It's essential to inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you're currently taking before the test.

Yes, the ADAMTS13 activity assay can be performed on pregnant women if necessary. It is safe and poses no risk to the unborn baby.

The ADAMTS13 activity assay involves a standard blood draw, so risks are minimal. These may include minor pain or bruising at the needle insertion site.

The ADAMTS13 activity assay is a crucial diagnostic tool in the management of blood clotting disorders. By providing insights into the activity of the ADAMTS13 protein in your blood, your healthcare provider can devise an appropriate treatment plan to prevent potential complications. It's always essential to discuss your test results with a qualified healthcare provider to understand their implications fully and make informed decisions about your health
