ANTI PHOSPHOLIPID A/B IgM Test

Antiphospholipid antibodies (APL) IgM target phospholipids involved in blood coagulation. This test looks for APL, which induces irregular blood clotting and indicates an autoimmune condition called antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). If someone has irregular blood coagulation, miscarriages, strokes, or heart attacks, this test is done.

The antiphospholipid antibody IgM test identifies phospholipid antibodies in the blood. Depending on the organ affected, APS can cause cardiovascular illness, stroke, renal failure, and lung damage. Immune system illnesses include lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and systemic sclerosis have antiphospholipid antibodies. They are found in HIV, mononucleosis, rubella, solid tumours, leukemias, and lymphomas. Antiphospholipid antibodies can be produced by procainamide, phenothiazines, and oral contraceptives.
