PLASMINOGEN ACTIVATOR INHIBITOR-1 (PAI-1) Test: Cost, Symptoms, Diagnosis

PAI-1 is a protein that regulates blood clotting. High levels of PAI-1 in the blood can increase the risk of blood clots, heart attack, and stroke. A PAI-1 test measures the amount of PAI-1 in the blood. DNA Labs India offers this test at a cost of INR 18000.

Symptoms of High PAI-1 Levels

High levels of PAI-1 in the blood may not cause any symptoms. However, they can increase the risk of blood clots, which can cause symptoms such as:

• Chest pain
• Shortness of breath
• Leg swelling
• Leg pain
• Weakness or numbness on one side of the body

Diagnosis of High PAI-1 Levels

A PAI-1 test is a simple blood test that measures the amount of PAI-1 in the blood. It is usually ordered by a doctor if a patient has a family history of blood clots or if the patient has had a blood clot in the past. The test can also be ordered if a patient has symptoms of a blood clot.

If a patient's PAI-1 levels are high, the doctor may order additional tests to determine the cause of the high levels. The doctor may also recommend lifestyle changes, such as exercise and a healthy diet, to help lower the risk of blood clots.
