About this test

Anti Phospholipid Antibodies (APA), IgM

Key Details About the APLA IgM Test:

  • Purpose: Identifies IgM antibodies that target phospholipids, causing blood clotting disorders.
  • Clinical Significance: Elevated IgM levels are often associated with thrombosis and miscarriages, especially when IgG antibodies or lupus anticoagulant are also present.
  • Conditions Tested: Used to evaluate autoimmune disorders, particularly Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), and for unexplained clotting issues.
  • Test Requirements: No special preparation is needed, though testing is sometimes repeated after 12 weeks to confirm, as antibodies can be transient.
