Description
Indications
Antibodies against phospholipids which are components of the biological membranes, are specific for phospholipids. The IgG antibodies represent past exposure. There is a correlation between these autoantibodies and an enhanced incidence of thrombosis, thrombocytopenia and habitual abortions as a consequence of placental infarction. Most patients with “anti-phospholipid antibody syndrome” have moderate or high levels of cardiolipin antibodies See Also Cardiolipin Antibodies, Serum
