Understanding Phospholipid Antibodies Panel IgG & IgM in Mumbai
What is Phospholipid Antibodies Panel IgG & IgM in Mumbai?
Phospholipid Antibodies Panel IgG & IgM is a blood test to detect the levels of anti-phospholipid autoantibodies directed against normal body proteins. This panel helps to diagnose and monitor antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), a condition where the immune system produces abnormal antiphospholipid antibodies, resulting in the formation of blood clots in veins, arteries, and other organs like the brain. This test may be performed in women with a history of repetitive miscarriages or stillbirths. The test may also be advised if there is a history of recurring blood clots for no other apparent reason especially if there is a risk for heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, etc. Avoid eating large amounts of foods rich in Vitamin K, like cabbage, broccoli, and leafy grains if you have been detected with APS.
