Activated protein C–protein C inhibitor (APC-PCI) is a complex of activated protein C (APC) and protein C inhibitor (PCI).[1][2][3] It has been measured in coagulation testing to evaluate coagulation, thrombosis, and other cardiovascular complications.[2][3][4] It is a marker of thrombin generation and indicates hypercoagulability.[1][5] The half-life of APC-PCI is either 40 minutes or 140Шаблон:Nbspminutes.[1]

Ethinylestradiol-containing birth control pills have been found to increase levels of APC-PCI to a similar degree as thrombin–antithrombin complex (TAT) and to a greater extent than D-dimer.[5] However, only APC-PCI was able to differentiate between a second- and third-generation birth control pill.[5]

Another complex related to APC-PCI is the activated protein C–α1-antitrypsin (APCAT) complex.[1]
