A member asked:
Blood tests show cardiolipin antibodies negative but anti-cardiolipin as elevated. what is the difference between the two?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, The two statements are mutually contradictory. Wish you good health!
