Anti Phospholipid Antibody (IgG/IgM) - Book Test at Low Cost

What is the Anti Phospholipid Antibody (IgG/IgM) Test?

Antiphospholipid antibodies (APL) are the antibodies that fight phospholipids that cause blood to clot. This test is to see if APL causes blood clotting to be out of normal. If there are, the person has an autoimmune disorder called antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). The three most common APL tests are lupus anticoagulants (LA), anticardiolipin antibodies (ACL), and anti-beta2 glycoprotein. This test is done if a person has problems with blood clotting, has a lot of miscarriages, has a stroke, or has a heart attack.

As blood clots affect different parts of the body, they can cause heart problems, strokes, kidney failure, and lung damage. Recurrent unexplained venous or arterial blood clots, pain and swelling due to thrombotic episodes, recurrent miscarriages, especially in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters, stillbirth, placental insufficiency, implantation failure, increased rates of IVF failure are symptoms associated with antiphospholipid antibody.

Why Done? 

The antiphospholipid antibody test looks for antibodies that are higher than normal. The process makes it easier to find any specimen. It is an important part of the body's ability to control how quickly blood clots. The antiphospholipid antibody test can help you figure out why you have a lot of miscarriages; it can also help you figure out if you have a long PTT (partial thromboplastin time) or if you have the antiphospholipid antibody syndrome.

The Antiphospholipid Antibody (IgG/IgM) test has been done:

• A PTT test is done if there is no reason for a long PTT.
• There are times when there are blood clots that don't make sense.
• In many miscarriages, especially in the second and third trimesters, it's important to get checked out.
• As part of a test for antiphospholipid syndrome, this is done.
• To figure out if someone has an autoimmune disorder or not.
