New York DOH Approval Status

This test is New York DOH approved.

Specimen Required

Patient Preparation

Fasting preferred. Refer to Specimen Handling at aruplab.com for hemostasis/thrombosis specimen handling guidelines.

Collect

Lt. blue (sodium citrate) AND lavender (EDTA) or pink (K2EDTA) AND serum separator tube, green (sodium or lithium heparin), or EDTA (K2 or K3).

Specimen Preparation

Serum Separator Tube, Green (sodium or lithium heparin), or EDTA (K2 or K3) must be centrifuged and serum or plasma separated within 1 hour of collection. Transfer 1 mL centrifuged serum or plasma to ARUP Standard Transport Tube and label centrifuged tube for homocysteine testing. (Min: 0.5 mL) AND Transport two 2 mL aliquots platelet-poor plasma (sodium citrate) (Min: 1 mL/aliquot) AND Transport 5 mL whole blood (EDTA). (Min: 1 mL)

Storage/Transport Temperature

Light blue (sodium citrate):  CRITICAL FROZEN. Separate specimens must be submitted when multiple tests are ordered.
Lavender whole blood and Serum or Green (sodium or lithium heparin): Refrigerated.

Unacceptable Conditions

Specimens collected in any tube type not listed above.

0099869 Homocysteine, Total Effective January 4, 2021:
0-15 µmol/L, for both male and female
0056060 Prothrombin (F2) c.*97G>A (G20210A) Pathogenic Variant
0030127 APC Resistance Profile 2.0 or greater
  Factor V Leiden by PCR Negative: The sample is negative for factor V Leiden, R506Q mutation.

Interpretive Data

Ratios less than 2.00 suggest APC resistance. This method uses factor V deficient plasma; therefore, APC resistance due to a nonfactor V mutation will not be detected. Extreme factor V deficiency may cause abnormal ratio. Elevated total homocysteine (tHcy) concentrations may be associated with vitamin B12 deficiency, folate deficiency, or inherited disorders of methionine metabolism. tHcy may also be used as a weak-graded risk factor for cardiovascular disease or stroke.

Compliance Category

FDA

Note

If APC resistance is normal, then no further testing will be added. If APC resistance is abnormally low, then Factor V Leiden by PCR will be added. Additional charges apply. False elevations of plasma or serum homocysteine may occur if the plasma or serum is not promptly separated from the cells at the time of collection.
