Take proactive control over clotting risks and autoimmune health with Scan4Health’s Anti Phospholipid Antibody IgG Test—a specialized screening for autoantibodies linked to increased blood clotting and recurrent pregnancy loss. This powerful diagnostic identifies IgG antibodies against phospholipids and their associated proteins, making it essential for diagnosing antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), assessing unexplained thrombosis, or evaluating repeated miscarriages.

• Routine Preparation: No fasting is usually required. Continue your regular diet and medicines unless your doctor advises otherwise.
• Health History: Inform your physician of any history of blood clots, stroke, recurrent miscarriages, autoimmune disorders (like lupus), thrombocytopenia, and any recent pregnancy complications.
• Medication Guidance: Share details of all medicines—especially anticoagulants, birth control, hormone therapy, or cancer treatments.
• Symptoms: Report any signs of unexplained pain, swelling in limbs, chest pain, headaches, vision changes, or neurological symptoms.
• Procedure Comfort: Wear short sleeves or loose clothing to facilitate a standard blood draw.

This blood test measures the level of IgG antibodies against phospholipids and related proteins such as cardiolipin or beta-2 glycoprotein I. The presence of these antibodies may indicate a tendency for abnormal blood clot formation (thrombosis) or complications during pregnancy, such as miscarriages, late-term fetal loss, or preeclampsia. Persistent medium- or high-level positivity is a diagnostic criterion for APS, an autoimmune disorder in which these antibodies attack cell membranes and interfere with normal clotting regulation. The test is recommended for individuals with unexplained deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism, strokes (especially in young patients), repeated pregnancy loss, or autoimmune conditions such as lupus. Alongside other tests (IgM, lupus anticoagulant, beta-2 glycoprotein), it helps confirm APS and guides therapy, risk reduction, and pregnancy planning. Your blood is analyzed using immunoassay or ELISA methods, and results are interpreted in the context of medical history and repeat testing, as transiently elevated levels may occur due to infections or medications.
