Subject: Protein S
Blood work at the time of the DVT showed that she had a slightly elevated protein S.
The doctor first says slightly low...(then says) elevated protein S. Doesn't it make sense for it to be low?
She has been on Coumadin for the DVT and a pulmonary embolism.

Subject: Protein S is a vitamin K–dependent anticoagulant protein, thus low levels tend to
increase the tendency for coagulation/DVT. In this regard, I agree with you.
However, maybe the elevation of protein S at the time of the DVT rules out protein S deficiency as a probable cause of the thrombotic episode. Is there any such implication? The clotting mechanism involves a complex cascade of activation events of numerous factors, and Protein S is just one cofactor for another anticoagulant protein.
Still, it would be wise to flag the doctor and let him put the final word.
