What is the Beta-2 Glycoprotein test?

Beta-2 glycoprotein is a type of glycoprotein. Autoantibodies are antibodies that are formed in response to abnormal blood clotting.1 antibody is an autoantibody. These antibodies (IgA, IgG, & IgM) to beta-2 glycoprotein 1 are detected and measured in the blood using this test.

Antiphospholipid antibodies, which wrongly target the body's lipid-proteins (phospholipids) located in the outermost layer of cells (cell membranes) and platelets, are known as beta-2 glycoprotein antibodies. This test is frequently requested in conjunction with other antiphospholipid antibody tests, such as cardiolipin and lupus anticoagulants. 

Antiphospholipid antibodies are prevalent in persons with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). This syndrome is linked to widespread blood clots, poor platelet counts, and frequent miscarriages, especially in the second and third trimesters.

Why done? 

When excessive clotting or antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) symptoms exist, this test may be recommended. Symptoms include:

• A blood clot in a blood vessel, such as a deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
• Transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) or strokes
• A history of miscarriages regularly
• Problems associated with pregnancy, such as pre-eclampsia

This test may be performed if you have an autoimmune disorder and your doctor wants to see if you have developed an autoantibody.

Procedure

You'll have blood extracted from an arm vein. 

How does one prepare for the test?
