About test
What does CARDIOLIPIN ANTIBODY (ACL) - IGM measure?
This test measures immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies against cardiolipin, a type of phospholipid-related antibody. It may be used as part of an evaluation for antiphospholipid antibodies in people with certain blood-clotting concerns, recurrent pregnancy loss, or autoimmune conditions. Results are interpreted alongside medical history, clinical findings, and other laboratory tests, as antibody levels can be temporary or occur for different reasons.
