HomeLab TestThrombin-Antithrombin Complex (TAC)
Overview
The Thrombin-Antithrombin Complex (TAC) blood test measures the levels of thrombin-antithrombin complexes in the blood, which form when thrombin (a key enzyme in blood clotting) is neutralized by antithrombin (a natural anticoagulant). This test h...
Risk Assessment
The Thrombin-Antithrombin Complex (TAC) blood test carries minimal risks, typical of a standard blood draw, such as slight pain, bruising, or infection at the needle site. However, it provides critical insights into clotting risks, helping identif...
Ranges
The Thrombin-Antithrombin Complex (TAC) blood test typically has a reference range of 1.0–4.1 µg/L in healthy individuals. Elevated levels (>4.1 µg/L) indicate increased thrombin generation, suggesting hypercoagulability, thro...
Test Result Interpretation
Thrombin-Antithrombin Complex (TAC) Test Result Interpretation:
Normal Range (1.0–4.1 µg/L): Indicates typical thrombin activity and balanced coagulation.
Elevated Levels (>4.1 µg/L): Suggests increased thromb...
Sample Types
The Thrombin-Antithrombin Complex (TAC) blood test requires a plasma sample, typically collected from venous blood in a citrate anticoagulant tube (e.g., light blue top) to prevent clotting and ensure accurate measurement.

Description
The Thrombin-Antithrombin Complex (TAC) blood test measures the level of thrombin-antithrombin complexes in the blood, which are formed when thrombin, a key enzyme in the blood clotting process, is neutralized by antithrombin, a natural anticoagulant. This test is used to assess the activation of the coagulation system and is particularly useful in diagnosing and monitoring conditions associated with excessive blood clotting, such as disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and other thrombotic disorders.
