What does this test DCP-Decarboxy Prothrombin PIVKA-II Test identify?

DCP-Decarboxy Prothrombin PIVKA-II Test

The DCP-Decarboxy Prothrombin PIVKA-II Test is a blood test used to identify abnormal levels of a protein called prothrombin induced by vitamin K absence-II (PIVKA-II) in the blood. PIVKA-II is a form of prothrombin that is unable to bind to calcium, which is necessary for normal blood clotting.

Abnormal levels of PIVKA-II in the blood can indicate a deficiency of vitamin K, which is essential for the production of clotting factors in the liver. This test is commonly used to detect liver disease, particularly liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer).

The DCP-Decarboxy Prothrombin PIVKA-II Test is often used in conjunction with other tests to diagnose and monitor liver disease. It can help healthcare providers determine the severity of liver damage and assess the effectiveness of treatment.

Why is this test DCP-Decarboxy Prothrombin PIVKA-II Test taken?

  1. DCP-Decarboxy Prothrombin PIVKA-II Test:

    The DCP-Decarboxy Prothrombin PIVKA-II test is taken to measure the levels of des-gamma-carboxy prothrombin (DCP) and protein induced by vitamin K absence or antagonist-II (PIVKA-II) in the blood. These markers are used to assess liver function and to detect hepatocellular carcinoma, particularly in patients with chronic liver disease or those at high risk for liver cancer.
