A reader wrote and a blog post was the easiest

Hi Ken,
tomorrow I have an appointment with a cardiologist, and I want to check for thick blood/coagulation if possible. What blood values would I need to test? Fibrinogen, Prothrombin Fragment 1+2, Thrombin/ AntiThrombin Complexes, Soluble Fibrin Monomer, and Platelet Activation. Is that right?

This has been part of my model of ME/CFS for a long time. It is a co-factor to things like the microbiome. A summary of the old treatment advice from Hemex and transcripts of talks with Dave Berg is here.

• Soluble Fibrin Monomer (SFM) – Normal Range 0-15mg/L
• Fibrinogen – Normal Range 200-300
• Prothrombin Fragment 1+2 test
• Antithrombin III (AT),
• Protein C,
• Protein S,
• APC Resistance
• Factor II level or the Prothrombin Gene Mutation
• Lp(a)
• PAI-1
• SED (Below 5 is a concern per Berg)
