A member asked:
Can you please explain the test for cardiolipin antibodies and what the numbers for igg and igm mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Auto-antibodies: Anti-cardiolipin antibodes are seen in some patients with auto-immune disease and in patients with syphilis. Igm antibodies mean recent onset of antibody production and igg means antibody production going on for a while. For details see these sites. http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/health-topics/topics/aps/printall-index.html http://www.Mayoclinic.Com/health/antiphospholipid-syndrome/ds00921.
