Book Factor II Blood Test (Prothrombin Test) Near Me

The Factor II Blood Test checks how well your blood can form clots by measuring prothrombin, also called Factor II. You may also hear it called a Factor II activity test, prothrombin activity test, or an F2 assay. You can book this test at participating labs on LabFinder and choose a time that fits your schedule.

What is Factor II Blood Test (Prothrombin Test) and what does it show

This test, also called a Factor II activity test and prothrombin activity test, looks at the level or function of Factor II in your blood. Factor II helps your blood clot. If it is too low or not working well, you may bleed longer. If it is too high, it may be linked with a higher chance of clots.

Who should get a Factor II Blood Test (Prothrombin Test)

Common reasons: easy bruising or frequent nosebleeds, unusual bleeding after dental work or surgery, a history of blood clots such as a leg clot or lung clot, checking for inherited clotting problems, or monitoring clotting issues when you also have liver or vitamin K problems. Your doctor may pair this with other clotting tests for a clearer picture.

How long does a Factor II Blood Test (Prothrombin Test) take and what to expect

You will check in and show your lab order and ID. A phlebotomist cleans your arm, places a small needle in a vein, and collects a blood sample. A bandage is placed after the draw. The visit usually takes about 15 to 30 minutes from arrival to finish. Most people can return to normal activities right after.

Is a Factor II Blood Test (Prothrombin Test) safe and what are the risks

Yes, this is a quick, routine blood draw and is considered very safe. You might feel a quick pinch, notice a small bruise, or feel a little lightheaded for a moment afterward, but those effects usually fade quickly. Be sure to tell the staff if you take blood thinners, have a bleeding disorder, or if you have fainted during blood draws before. They will take extra care to keep you comfortable.

How to prepare for a Factor II Blood Test (Prothrombin Test)

Medications: tell the lab about all medicines, especially blood thinners like warfarin or heparin, and any supplements. Food and drink: fasting is not usually needed unless your doctor ordered other labs. Activity: arrive well hydrated and avoid strenuous exercise right before your draw. Paperwork: bring your photo ID, insurance card if using insurance, and prior results if you have them. Always follow any special instructions from your doctor or the lab.

Related conditions a Factor II Blood Test (Prothrombin Test) may help evaluate

Unexplained bleeding or easy bruising, deep vein clots in the legs, lung clots, liver disease that affects clotting, vitamin K deficiency, and inherited Factor II deficiency. Results are interpreted in context. Your doctor will review your numbers along with your history and symptoms before advising next steps.

Tests similar to Factor II Blood Test (Prothrombin Test) and how they differ

  • PT and INR: measure how long blood takes to clot and are often used to monitor warfarin therapy, not the specific Factor II level.
  • aPTT: checks another part of the clotting pathway and is often used to monitor heparin or screen for other factor problems.
  • Prothrombin gene test (G20210A): a DNA test that looks for an inherited change linked to higher clot risk, not current Factor II activity.
