    What is Cardiolipin antibody IgG Test?

    The Cardiolipin Antibody IgG test looks for specific antibodies in your blood, which are produced by your immune system. These antibodies mistakenly attack cardiolipins, a type of fat found in your body, instead of fighting infections. The IgG class of these antibodies is the most commonly tested, and the presence of these antibodies can sometimes cause blood clotting problems. This test is particularly helpful for evaluating unexplained blood clots (thrombosis) or repeated miscarriages. It can also assist in identifying issues like low platelet count (thrombocytopenia) or signs of autoimmune diseases, such as lupus.

    When you take this test, it may be ordered with other tests, like the lupus anticoagulant test, especially if your doctor suspects a clotting disorder or another autoimmune disease. If the test comes back positive, the same test is often repeated after about 12 weeks to check if the antibodies are still present. If antibodies are detected, it could indicate a condition that may affect blood clotting and lead to health complications. However, sometimes low or moderate levels of these antibodies do not have a significant impact.

    If you are living in Bangalore, you can easily schedule the Cardiolipin IgG test through an online platform, to help identify any potential causes of unexplained blood clotting or recurrent pregnancy issues.

    Cardiolipin antibody IgG Test Parameters

    The Cardiolipin Antibody IgG test measures a single parameter: Cardiolipin IgG antibody levels in the blood.

    High levels of cardiolipin IgG antibodies are often found in people with blood clotting disorders, autoimmune diseases like systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), or repeated miscarriages. These antibodies are associated with low platelet counts (thrombocytopenia), miscarriages (especially in the 2nd and 3rd trimester), premature labour, and pre-eclampsia.

    Cardiolipin IgG antibodies are commonly seen in autoimmune conditions, infections, or temporarily after certain drug treatments such as penicillin or phenytoin. They may also be present in elderly people without causing any symptoms.

    When a person has high levels of cardiolipin IgG antibodies, along with recurrent blood clots or pregnancy complications, they may be diagnosed with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). This test helps doctors understand the risk of blood clots and manage treatment effectively.

    Cautions Before Taking Cardiolipin Antibody IgG Test

    You do not need to take any precautions before going for the Cardiolipin Antibody IgG test.

    Why Take the Cardiolipin antibody IgG Test?

    The Cardiolipin IgG test is used for:

    • Abnormal Blood Clotting or Bleeding: The test is necessary when there are unexplained blood clots, such as swelling, pain, shortness of breath, or headaches.

    • Recurrent Miscarriages: Women with multiple unexplained miscarriages may require this test to identify potential causes.

    • Autoimmune Diseases (e.g., SLE): People with autoimmune diseases like Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) might have cardiolipin antibodies, which this test can detect.

    • Cardiolipin Antibody Syndrome: High levels of these antibodies may suggest cardiolipin antibody syndrome, a condition that affects blood clotting.

    • Follow-Up Testing: If cardiolipin antibodies are found, the test may be repeated to determine whether the antibodies are temporary or persistent.

    • Future Testing for Autoimmune Disorders: If no antibodies are found initially, testing may be repeated later, particularly in individuals with autoimmune conditions like SLE.

    Thus, it is essential for diagnosing conditions related to blood clotting issues, recurrent miscarriages, and autoimmune diseases.
