Understanding Anti Cardiolipin IgM Antibody in Raigad Maharashtra


What is Anti Cardiolipin IgM Antibody in Raigad Maharashtra?

The Anti Cardiolipin IgM Antibody is a blood test that helps to detect the presence of immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies that target cardiolipins (a phospholipid that is part of the cell membrane). These antibodies are commonly associated with autoimmune disorders, particularly Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS), which can lead to an increased risk of blood clots, recurrent miscarriages, and other complications. This test is widely available at an affordable price with Tata 1mg labs in Raigad Maharashtra. 

It is recommended for individuals with a history of unexplained blood clots, recurrent miscarriages, or those with symptoms suggestive of antiphospholipid syndrome. Furthermore, the Anti Cardiolipin IgM Antibody test is valuable for monitoring the effectiveness of treatment and managing autoimmune diseases, such as APS and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), where anticardiolipin antibodies can be present. 

No special preparation is required for this test. Eat and drink as per your daily routine. 

 

What does Anti Cardiolipin IgM Antibody measure?

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).
