Beta 2 Glycoprotein 1 Panel IgG, IgM & IgA
Understanding Beta 2 Glycoprotein 1 Panel IgG, IgM & IgA
What is Beta 2 Glycoprotein 1 Panel IgG, IgM & IgA?
Beta-2 glycoprotein 1 IGG, IGM, IGA panel detects the presence of anti-Beta-2 glycoprotein 1 (IgG, IgM & IgA) antibodies and helps diagnose the Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), a condition with multiple blood clots in the arteries, veins, and organs. This panel is advised if an individual shows signs and symptoms of excessive clotting or APS such as throbbing or cramping pain, swelling, redness and warmth in a leg or arm, sudden breathlessness, sharp chest pain (may be worse when you breathe in), coughing up blood, blood clot in blood vessels or stroke. This panel is also helpful in detecting the root cause of recurrent miscarriages and pregnancy complications such as pre-eclampsia. Early detection of these antibodies can help prevent possible health concerns and complications.
