Heart & Vascular Protection Test

Detects the presence of antibodies that target phospholipids, which are important components of cell membranes. High levels of these antibodies may indicate disorders such as antiphospholipid syndrome, which increases the risk of blood clots, recurrent miscarriages, and other immune-related issues.

• Individuals with recurrent blood clots without an apparent cause.
• Women who have experienced recurrent miscarriages or pregnancy complications.
• People with autoimmune disorders, such as systemic lupus erythematosus.
• Patients suspected of having antiphospholipid syndrome (APS).
• Individuals with unexplained early-onset blood clotting problems.

• Recurrent blood clots, either in veins or arteries.
• Recurrent miscarriages or pregnancy complications such as unexplained preterm birth.
• Chronic migraines or other unexplained neurological disorders.
• Low platelet count (thrombocytopenia).
• Skin symptoms such as ulcers or rashes resulting from circulatory issues.
• Symptoms related to autoimmune disorders, such as arthritis, or joint pain and swelling.

• Negative (Normal) Result Indicates absence or low levels of anticardiolipin antibodies. The normal range is usually less than 15 units per milliliter (U/mL).
• Low Positive Result May range between 15-20 U/mL and may not indicate a significant risk of blood clots.
• Moderate to High Positive Result Usually greater than 20 U/mL, indicating an increased risk of blood clots or antiphospholipid syndrome (APS).
