HomeLab TestAnti-Phospholipid Antibody
Overview
Anti-Phospholipid Antibodies (aPL) are autoantibodies that target phospholipid-binding proteins, potentially causing hypercoagulability and vascular complications. Testing for aPL aids in diagnosing antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and assessing the r...
Risk assessment
Risk assessment for Anti-Phospholipid Antibody (aPL) testing involves considering potential false-positive or false-negative results, ensuring proper sample collection and handling to prevent contamination, and interpreting results in conjunction wit...
Ranges
Anti-Phospholipid Antibody (aPL) testing typically reports results qualitatively as positive or negative for the presence of autoantibodies targeting phospholipid-binding proteins. Positivity indicates the presence of aPL, suggesting an increased ris...
Test result interpretation
Interpretation of Anti-Phospholipid Antibody (aPL) testing involves assessing the presence or absence of antibodies targeting phospholipid-binding proteins. Positive results indicate an increased risk of thrombotic events and pregnancy complications,...
Sample types
The Anti-Phospholipid Antibody (aPL) test requires a blood sample, typically collected via venipuncture, to detect autoantibodies targeting phospholipid-binding proteins. Serum or plasma is extracted from the blood sample and analyzed using immunoass...

Description
Antiphospholipid syndrome, or antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS or APLS), is an autoimmune, hypercoagulable state caused by antiphospholipid antibodies. APS provokes blood clots (thrombosis) in both arteries and veins as well as pregnancy-related complications such as miscarriage, stillbirth, preterm delivery, and severe preeclampsia. Although the exact etiology of APS is still not clear.
