What is Cardiolipin Antibodies - IgG, Serum?

The Cardiolipin Antibodies (IgG) test identifies IgG antibodies that target cardiolipin, a lipid found in cell membranes. The presence of these antibodies is a key indicator for Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS), an autoimmune disorder linked to an increased risk of blood clots and pregnancy complications.

Why is this test important?

Positive IgG cardiolipin antibodies are a significant criterion for diagnosing Antiphospholipid Syndrome. They are strongly associated with clinical symptoms such as recurrent blood clots, unexplained miscarriages, and other pregnancy-related issues, guiding appropriate management and treatment.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
