Understanding Anti Cardiolipin IgM Antibody in New Delhi
What is Anti Cardiolipin IgM Antibody in New Delhi?
Anti Cardiolipin IgM Antibody test is used to check for the presence of Anti Cardiolipin antibodies (ACL) produced against cardiolipins (the phospholipids responsible for blood clotting). ACL can lead to the formation of clots in multiple body parts, including arms, legs, heart, lungs, stomach, and kidney. Higher than normal levels of ACL may indicate an autoimmune disorder called antiphospholipid syndrome (APS).
This test is done if a person experiences inappropriate blood clotting, stroke, heart attacks, and frequent miscarriages. Various complications such as cardiovascular diseases, stroke, kidney failure, and lung damage may arise as a result of APS, depending upon the organ affected by the blood clot.
