    What is Cardiolipin antibody IgG Test?

    The Cardiolipin Antibody IgG test identifies specific antibodies in your blood produced by your immune system. These antibodies mistakenly attack cardiolipins, a type of fat found in the body, instead of targeting infections. The IgG variant of these antibodies is commonly tested, as their presence may sometimes result in clotting issues. This test is highly beneficial for diagnosing unexplained thrombosis (blood clots) or recurrent pregnancy losses. It can also help identify conditions like low platelet count (thrombocytopenia) or autoimmune disorders such as lupus.

    This test is often conducted alongside other evaluations, like the lupus anticoagulant test, to investigate clotting disorders or autoimmune diseases. If the results are positive, the test is typically repeated after around 12 weeks to confirm the persistence of antibodies. Detecting these antibodies may indicate a potential blood clotting issue that could cause complications. However, low or moderate antibody levels might not always be harmful.

    If you are residing in Delhi, you can easily book the Cardiolipin IgG test online to explore potential causes of unexplained blood clots or recurrent pregnancy challenges.

    Cardiolipin antibody IgG Test Parameters

    The Cardiolipin Antibody IgG test evaluates a single parameter: the level of Cardiolipin IgG antibodies in your blood.

    Elevated levels of these antibodies are frequently observed in individuals with blood clotting issues, autoimmune conditions such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), or recurring pregnancy losses. These antibodies are linked to complications like low platelet count (thrombocytopenia), miscarriages during the second or third trimester, early labour, and pre-eclampsia.

    Cardiolipin IgG antibodies are often associated with autoimmune diseases, infections, or might temporarily arise after the use of specific medications such as penicillin or phenytoin. In some elderly individuals, these antibodies may exist without causing any noticeable symptoms.

    When high levels of cardiolipin IgG antibodies are present along with recurrent pregnancy issues or frequent blood clots, a diagnosis of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is often considered. This test enables doctors to assess clotting risks and create a targeted treatment plan.

    Cardiolipin antibody IgG Test Preparation

    If you are planning for a Cardiolipin Antibody IgG test, here are the key points to keep in mind:

    Prerequisites

    Who Should Get a Cardiolipin Antibody IgG Test?

    Cardiolipin Antibody IgG test is particularly advised for individuals with unexplained episodes of blood clots, repeated pregnancy losses, conditions like lupus, or suspected antiphospholipid syndrome.

    Cautions Before Taking Cardiolipin Antibody IgG Test

    There are no special precautions to be taken before undergoing the Cardiolipin Antibody IgG test.

    Why Take the Cardiolipin antibody IgG Test?

    The Cardiolipin IgG test is useful for the following purposes:

    • Abnormal Blood Clotting or Bleeding: This test helps investigate unexplained blood clots that manifest as symptoms like swelling, pain, difficulty breathing, or persistent headaches.

    • Recurrent Miscarriages: It is often recommended for women who experience multiple unexplained pregnancy losses to determine potential underlying causes.

    • Autoimmune Diseases (e.g., SLE): Individuals diagnosed with autoimmune disorders such as Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) may require this test to detect cardiolipin antibodies.

    • Cardiolipin Antibody Syndrome: Elevated levels of these antibodies can indicate cardiolipin antibody syndrome, which influences blood clotting mechanisms.

    • Follow-Up Testing: When cardiolipin antibodies are detected, a follow-up test is typically performed to establish whether their presence is temporary or persistent.

    • Future Testing for Autoimmune Disorders: For individuals with conditions like SLE, the absence of antibodies on initial testing might warrant repeat testing later.

    This test is crucial for diagnosing disorders related to abnormal clotting, repeated pregnancy loss, and autoimmune diseases.
