Anticardiolipin antibodies ACA IgM

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

The disease is caused by 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 episode, recurrent miscarriage or thrombocytopenia
