Would these markers be something a hematology clinic would test for? I just got a referral to an oncology/hematology clinic.

All my former lab results are gone due to a cruel boss…. I need to know where to start over in testing.

The anti-phospholipid antibodies (anti-glycoprotein and anti-cardiolipin) and the other markers from Berg's study (Fibrin, Prothrombin Fragment 1+2, Thrombin/ AntiThrombin Complexes, Soluble Fibrin Monomer) are something a hematologist, or any doctor, should be able to order, but a hematologist may be more familiar.

I just checked which genetic blood clotting factor I have and it is

PROTHROMBIN G20210A (FACTOR II MUTATION)


  • People who have a mutation in the prothrombin gene produce more prothrombin protein than is normal. Since there is more of the prothrombin protein in the blood, this increases the tendency to form clots.
