What are Cardiolipin (IgG) Antibodies?
Cardiolipin (IgG) antibodies are specific proteins produced by the immune system in reaction to the body's own cardiolipin. Cardiolipin is an important lipid molecule present in the membranes of blood cells and the inner membranes of mitochondria.
Why should you get tested for Cardiolipin (IgG) Antibodies?
Testing for Cardiolipin (IgG) antibodies is useful for people experiencing symptoms of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) or for those who are at risk of autoimmune diseases. It can also be important for people with unexplained blood clotting problems or recurrent miscarriages.
What does it indicate?
The presence of Cardiolipin (IgG) antibodies in the blood may suggest an autoimmune disease, such as SLE or antiphospholipid syndrome. These antibodies can contribute to abnormal blood clotting.
What do high levels of Cardiolipin (IgG) Antibodies mean?
A high level of these antibodies can indicate an active autoimmune reaction in the body, which may lead to increased risks of blood clots, miscarriages, and can be an indicator for the diagnosis of SLE or antiphospholipid syndrome.
What do low levels of Cardiolipin (IgG) Antibodies mean?
A low level of Cardiolipin (IgG) antibodies is generally considered normal and indicates that there is no significant autoimmune reaction against cardiolipin taking place. This reduces the likelihood of antiphospholipid syndrome and related complications such as blood clots or miscarriages.
