What is Antiphosphatidylserine IgM?

This test detects IgM antibodies against phosphatidylserine, a type of fat found in cell membranes. It helps assess the presence of certain autoimmune conditions that can affect blood clotting and other bodily functions.

Why is this test important?

Elevated levels of antiphosphatidylserine IgM antibodies can be associated with Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS), an autoimmune disorder that increases the risk of blood clots, recurrent miscarriages, and other complications. It aids in diagnosis and management.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
