The Phosphatidylserine IgM Antibody Test is used to detect antibodies against phosphatidylserine, a type of phospholipid found in cell membranes. It helps diagnose antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and related autoimmune conditions, which can cause abnormal blood clotting.
✅ Diagnose Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS) – A disorder causing excessive blood clotting
✅ Evaluate unexplained blood clots (deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, stroke)
✅ Investigate recurrent miscarriages or pregnancy complications
✅ Assess autoimmune diseases like lupus (SLE)
| Test Result | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| Negative (<12 U/mL) | No significant antibodies detected |
| Borderline (12-20 U/mL) | May indicate early or mild antibody presence |
| Positive (>20 U/mL) | Suggests possible APS or autoimmune disorder |
📌 High IgM levels indicate an active immune response but may not always cause disease. A repeat test is needed after 12 weeks for confirmation.
🔹 Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS) – Causes blood clots and pregnancy loss
🔹 Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) – Autoimmune disorder affecting multiple organs
🔹 Chronic Infections – Some infections can trigger temporary antibody production
🔹 Multiple Sclerosis (MS) & Other Autoimmune Diseases – Less common association
⚠ Blood clotting symptoms:
✔ Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) – Leg swelling, pain
✔ Pulmonary embolism – Shortness of breath, chest pain
✔ Stroke or mini-stroke (TIA) – Sudden weakness, speech problems
✔ Recurrent miscarriages – Especially after 10 weeks of pregnancy
🔬 Confirmatory Tests:
✔ Repeat Phosphatidylserine IgM after 12 weeks
✔ Other APS markers:
💊 Treatment for APS (if diagnosed):
✔ Blood thinners (anticoagulants) – Warfarin, heparin
✔ Aspirin (low-dose) – Reduces clot risk
✔ Immunosuppressants (if linked to lupus)
