Understanding Anti-Cardiolipin Antibody IgM+IgG in Gandhinagar


What is Anti-Cardiolipin Antibody IgM+IgG in Gandhinagar?

The Anti-Cardiolipin Antibody IgM+IgG is a blood test that helps to detect the presence of specific antibodies, immunoglobulin M (IgM) and immunoglobulin G (IgG), that target cardiolipins (lipid molecules normally found in cell membranes and platelets). Available at an affordable price with Tata 1mg labs in Gandhinagar, this test helps diagnose autoimmune disorders like antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), which can increase the risk of blood clots. 

Consider getting tested if you have symptoms suggestive of a thrombotic episode, such as pain and swelling in the extremities, shortness of breath, or headaches. This test can also be done in conjunction with lupus anticoagulant testing as a follow-up to a prolonged clotting time test  (Activated partial thromboplastin time, or APTT test). No special preparation is required for this test; you may eat and drink as per your daily routine. 

 

What does Anti-Cardiolipin Antibody IgM+IgG measure?

Contains 2 tests

The Anti-Cardiolipin Antibody IgM+IgG test measure the levels of two specific antibodies, immunoglobulins IgM(IgM)  and immunoglobulins G (IgG), that mistakenly targets cardiolipins, a phospholipid found in cell membranes and platelets. These antibodies can indicate autoimmune disorders such as antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The presence of these antibodies are associated with an increased risk of thrombotic events, including deep vein thrombosis (blood clot in legs), pulmonary embolism (blood clot in lungs), recurrent miscarriages, stroke etc. The Anti-Cardiolipin Antibody IgM+IgG test plays a crucial role in the diagnosis, risk assessment, and management of autoimmune disorders like APS and associated complications.

Anti Cardiolipin IgG Antibody

The Anti Cardiolipin IgG Antibody test detects specific immunoglobulins IgG antibodies, against cardiolipin, a phospholipid found in cell membranes. These antibodies can indicate autoimmune disorders such as antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

IgG antibodies are typically produced by the immune system later in an immune response and remain in the body for a longer time period, suggesting a more chronic or ongoing immune system activation. Therefore, the anticardiolipin IgG test is often used to diagnose chronic conditions or long-term immune responses, such as persistent blood clot formation in disorders like antiphospholipid syndrome (APS).

Anti Cardiolipin IgM Antibody

The Anti Cardiolipin IgM Antibody test detects specific immunoglobulins IgM antibodies against cardiolipin, a phospholipid found in cell membranes. These antibodies can indicate autoimmune disorders such as antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

IgM antibodies are typically the first antibodies produced by the immune system in response to an infection or antigen, and the presence of IgM antibodies in the blood sample may suggest recent or acute immune system activation. Thus, the Anti Cardiolipin IgM Antibody test is often used to diagnose acute conditions or recent immune responses, such as recent blood clot formation in disorders like antiphospholipid syndrome (APS).
