Phospholipid Antibodies, IgM, Serum

Description

Indications

Expression of IgM antibodies indicates recent exposure to phospholipids and are frequently found in sera of patients with SLE and related diseases, which is typical for a secondary anti-phospholipid syndrome (APS). 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
