Anticardiolipin antibodies ACA IgG

Testing the level of IgG antibodies to cardiolipin (ACA IgG) in the blood. The test is used to diagnose the syndrome antiphospholipid syndrome (APS, Hughes syndrome) - a systemic disease of the connective tissue.

The disease is caused by the action of autoantibodies directed against protein-phospholipid complexes, manifesting as venous or arterial thrombosis, as well as obstetric failures of obstetric. significance.

IgG and IgM class antibodies against cardiolipin are ordered often to determine the cause of an unexplained episode of thrombotic event, recurrent miscarriage or thrombocytopenia
