Phosphatidylserine IgG
Phosphatidylserin IgG antitstofffen is a laboratory test used to detect antibodies to phosphatidylserin. Phosphatidylserine is a phospholipid normally present in the cell membranes of cells. This test is related to the diagnosis of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS).
Here are some points to note:
Sample: The test is performed on 0.50 ml of serum.
Guideline values: A normal result is usually expressed as less than 15 U/ml.
Clinical Indication: This test is performed to investigate antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). APS is an autoimmune disease characterized by the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies in the blood, which can cause abnormal clotting and lead to thrombosis (blood clots in blood vessels).
Assessment: Measuring phosphatidylserine antibodies is one of the diagnostic markers for APS. Other tests such as cardiolipin antibodies (IgG and IgM) and beta-2-glycoprotein antibodies (IgG and IgM) are also commonly used in the diagnosis of APS.
Method: The specific method for phosphatidylserine antibody testing is not mentioned in the information you provided.
APS is an autoimmune disease in which abnormal blood clotting and thrombosis (blood clots in blood vessels) can occur. It is often associated with repeated miscarriages, unexplained infertility and complications during pregnancy, such as pre-eclampsia and preterm birth.
