The Prolactin Serum Test measures the level of prolactin hormone in the blood, assessing pituitary gland function and hormonal balance.

It is used to diagnose pituitary disorders, investigate unexplained symptoms, evaluate hormonal imbalances, and monitor treatment for related conditions.

Fasting is not required, but avoid a large meal before the test. Inform your healthcare provider about any medications or supplements.

Results are typically available within 1 to 3 days after the test.

It can help diagnose conditions such as prolactinomas, hormonal imbalances, hypothyroidism, and other endocrine disorders affecting prolactin levels.

Protein S is a protein that helps regulate blood clotting by assisting in the deactivation of clotting factors and promoting the breakdown of clots. Its proper function is crucial for preventing abnormal clot formation and related disorders.

A blood sample is drawn from a vein in your arm. The sample is then analyzed to measure Protein S levels and activity.

No fasting or special preparation is required before the test. You can eat and drink as usual.

Results are typically available within a few hours to 1-2 days, depending on the laboratory’s processing time.

If your results are abnormal, your healthcare provider will discuss them with you and may recommend additional tests or adjustments to your treatment plan based on your specific condition.
