A member asked:
My anti-cardiolipin igm was checked to rule out mctd. it was in nov 133 / 82 in jan & in feb it came down to 9.38. does it need to be tested again?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See details: Anticardiolipins never rule in or rule out mctd. They are used to diagnosis specific clotting disorders that can be associated with connective tissue disorders. The levels of anticardiolipins vary up and down and in your case they should be checked once or twice a year, not every month or two. I would urge taking an 81 mg asa daily as protection if your doctor agrees.
