I had a PT /PTT /INR, Thrombin-Anti-Thrombin Drawn from my LLMD. I really don't know what most do.

The ISAC test is the one you are interested in. It stands for Immune System Activiation of Clotting.

Right .. the ISAC.
--Found it:
ISAC Panel -- Flow Only Platelet activation by flow: CD62P CD62P + ADP
ISAC Panel -- coag only
Fibrinogen Soluble fibrin monomer T/AT (which is Thrombin/antithrombin) Fragment 1+2

I had it through my MO LLMD at the time. Expensive test w/little yield. It came back normal and later he said something about it being mildly abnormal due to reference range changes or something. I honestly wish I would've saved the $400. lol.
I'll look at the exact panel name and get back to you. Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
It's very important to know about and treat if you have hypercoagulation. I think my LLMD said 90% of his lyme patients are positive for it.

Thank you everyone. Bea and TuTu for the specific tests.
I called Hemex and the gal said that LabCorp is their parent company???
this panel from Hemex is self-pay then? according to Seek, it is??
I do believe that it is important..esp. the fibrin aspect, at least for me, considering the condition of my last PICC line when it was pulled.
