Know more about this test

Antiphospholipid antibodies (APL) IgG are the antibodies directed against phospholipids responsible for blood clotting. This quantitative assay is used to check for the presence of APL that cause abnormal blood clotting and their presence is an indication of an autoimmune disorder called Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS). Most commonly monitored APL are lupus anticoagulants (LA), anticardiolipin antibodies (ACL) and anti-beta2 glycoprotein. This test is done if a person suffers from inappropriate blood clotting, frequent miscarriages, stroke or heart attack. Various complications such as cardiovascular diseases, stroke, kidney faliure and lung damage can arise as a result of APS depending on the organ affected by the blood clot.

FAQs related to Anti Phospholipid Antibody, IgG

Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is also known as Hughes syndrome. The group of signs and symptoms include formation of blood clots, miscarriages, deficiency of platelets (thrombocytopenia), and the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies. APS can be primary or secondary. Primary APS has no underlying autoimmune disorder while secondary APS exists with a diagnosed autoimmune disorder.
The healthcare provider takes a blood sample from the arm. The site from where the blood is to be withdrawn is cleaned with a swab of rubbing alcohol. This is then followed by inserting a small needle which has a tube attached to it for collecting blood. Once the sufficient blood for analysis is withdrawn, the needle is removed. The site is then covered with a gauze pad.
As such there is no risk but in few cases, bruising, bleeding, and infection at the puncture site can be seen. In very few cases, there can be swelling of the vein after the blood is withdrawn.
No fasting is required for this test. You can schedule it at your convenience without avoiding food or water beforehand.
