Coagulation Factor Testing for Miscarriage in Slough

What is a Coagulation Factor Test?
A coagulation factor test is a specialised blood test used to evaluate how well your blood clots by measuring specific proteins known as clotting or coagulation factors. These proteins play a crucial role in the body’s ability to stop bleeding and maintain proper circulation.

Link Between Coagulation Disorders and Miscarriage
Abnormalities in clotting factors can contribute to recurrent pregnancy loss or miscarriage, particularly in the early stages of pregnancy. Women with inherited or acquired thrombophilia — a condition that increases the risk of abnormal blood clot formation — may be more likely to experience complications such as miscarriage, pre-eclampsia, or placental insufficiency.

Common Coagulation Factors Tested

Factor V Leiden mutation

Prothrombin gene mutation

Antithrombin III deficiency

Protein C and Protein S deficiencies

Lupus anticoagulant and anticardiolipin antibodies (part of antiphospholipid syndrome)

When to Consider Coagulation Factor Testing in Slough
If you live in Slough or surrounding areas such as Windsor, Maidenhead, or Langley and have experienced:

Two or more unexplained miscarriages

Pregnancy complications such as severe pre-eclampsia or fetal growth restriction

A family history of blood clotting disorders

Personal history of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism

you may benefit from a comprehensive coagulation factor evaluation.

Why Early Testing Matters
Identifying clotting abnormalities early can help guide treatment strategies to improve pregnancy outcomes. In many cases, blood-thinning medications such as low-dose aspirin or heparin may be recommended to support a healthy pregnancy.
