Anti Phospholipid Antibody, IgG near me in Kolkata

The Anti Phospholipid Antibody, IgG is a blood test that is  used to detect the levels of specific antibody immunoglobulin G (IgG) that target phospholipids, the essential components of cell membranes. This test aids in diagnosing autoimmune disorders such as antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), which can increase the risk of thrombotic events. It is widely available with Tata 1mg labs at an affordable price in Kolkata. 

This test is usually recommended for individuals who have had unexplained blood clots, multiple miscarriages, or other signs associated with APS, such as strokes or recurrent pregnancy loss. The test can also be used to monitor disease activity and assess treatment effectiveness in individuals diagnosed with APS or other autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).  Additionally,  this test can be suggested for patients with a history of venous or arterial clotting and unexplained pregnancy complications to assess the risk of developing future blood clots and to plan for  the effective course of  treatment such as anticoagulation therapy. Furthermore, this test may help in diagnosing APS in its chronic stage, as IgG antibodies are developed in later stages of infection, often indicating an ongoing chronic or long-term immune response.

For this test, a duly filled coagulation requisition form (Annexure - CR/05) is mandatory for sample collection. This form can be provided by the laboratory personnel (phlebotomist) before sample withdrawal. It is also recommended to discontinue heparin for 1 day and oral anticoagulants for 7 days before sample collection, or as per advised by your doctor.
