Description

Testing for beta-2 glycoprotein 1 antibodies (IgG, IgM, and/or IgA) is performed to determine a person's risk of developing inappropriate blood clots (thrombi) in both arteries and veins. Beta-2 glycoprotein 1 antibody is one of three primary antiphospholipid antibodies that target the body's own lipid-proteins (phospholipids) found in the outermost layer of cells (cell membranes) and platelets. They interfere with the body's blood clotting process in arteries and veins. Antiphospholipid antibodies are most frequently seen in those with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), an autoimmune disorder associated with blood clots (thrombotic episodes), a low platelet count (thrombocytopenia), or with pregnancy complications such as pre-eclampsia and recurrent miscarriages, especially in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters. One or more antiphospholipid antibodies may also be seen with other autoimmune disorders, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Copyright Copyright © 2021 Lab Tests Online. All rights reserved.
