Anticardiolipin

Antiphospholipid antibodies including RPR, lupus anticoagulant and anticardiolipin antibodies ❋ Unknown (2010)

Most patients with antiphospholipid antibody syndrome have elevated levels of anticardiolipin antibodies or anti-beta-2 glycoprotein antibodies. ❋ Unknown (2010)

The Immunology Lab offers both IgG and IgM anticardiolipin antibodies (ELISA) and IgG and IgMbeta-2 glycoprotein antibodies (ELISA). ❋ Unknown (2010)

Antinuclear antibody, lupus anticoagulant, anticardiolipin antibody ❋ Niels H. Lauersen (2000)

There are different blood tests used to detect the lupus anticoagulant and anticardiolipin antibodies. ❋ ROBIN DIBNER (1994)

An ELISA test is used to measure anticardiolipin antibodies, of which there are several different classes IgG, IgM, IgA. ❋ ROBIN DIBNER (1994)

Women with either the lupus anticoagulant, anticardiolipin antibodies, or both—the so-called antiphospholipid antibody syndrome—are at risk of developing clotting problems that could include heart attack, stroke, and deep venous thrombosis leg clots. ❋ ROBIN DIBNER (1994)

Patients with a high titer of IgG anticardiolipin and⁄or the lupus anticoagulant are at risk of developing blood clots that result in small, undergrown placentas. ❋ ROBIN DIBNER (1994)

High titers of IgG anticardiolipin seem to be more closely associated with excessive blood clotting. ❋ ROBIN DIBNER (1994)

There are several types of antiphospholipid antibodies, but there are two that are most associated with SLE: the lupus anticoagulant and anticardiolipin antibodies. ❋ ROBIN DIBNER (1994)
