What is Antiphosphatidylserine IgA?

This test measures IgA antibodies targeting phosphatidylserine, a lipid component of cell membranes. It is used to investigate autoimmune responses that may impact blood vessel health and clotting mechanisms.

Why is this test important?

Detecting antiphosphatidylserine IgA antibodies can support the diagnosis of Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS), especially in cases where other antiphospholipid antibodies are negative. It helps identify individuals at risk for thrombosis and related complications.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
