What is Cardiolipin Antibodies - IgA, Serum?
The Cardiolipin Antibodies (IgA) test detects a specific type of antibody that targets cardiolipin, a fat molecule found in cell membranes. These antibodies are associated with autoimmune conditions, particularly Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS), which can increase the risk of blood clots.
Why is this test important?
Elevated IgA cardiolipin antibodies, especially when found with other cardiolipin antibodies, can indicate an increased risk of blood clots in arteries or veins, recurrent miscarriages, or other complications associated with Antiphospholipid Syndrome. It helps in diagnosing and managing this autoimmune disorder.
