Depends....: The anti-cardiolopin ab is a screening test; if (+) it does not necessarily mean you have a clinical disease. In addition, there are other tests that are thought to be more sensitive and specific for the diagnosis of antiphospholipid syndrome. Have you had the beta 2 glycoprotein test? Have you ever had 2 documented episodes of blood clots? If no clots and beta 2 (-), then "not to worry".

Between February and April 2022 my IgG dropped by 113mg/dL and my IgA dropped by 8.3. Both still within normal range but both dropped in a short period of time. Is either drop significant or something to keep an eye on? IgM was low both times at 40?
