A member asked:

My cardiolipin igm has come back high 3 times, neutrophils slightly raised & ana negative. symptoms indicative of lupus, mctd?? gp not worried.

See a rheumatologist: The lab tests may be unreliable especially at hospital labs. Even if negative the anticardiolipin ab may be a concern depending on your symptoms. IgM anticardiolipin Anyibody us also for many not a problem. It us best if you are having symptoms to see a specialist and get their opinion.
