A member asked:

Is aps possible if beta-2 glycoprotein , lupus anticoagulant and cardiolipin-ig-(g/m/a)are >0.2. is test to be repeated in 1-2yrs if once negative?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: It is highly unlikely that you have apa syndrome if the tests are negative. The test values can vary from time to time and may even be negative on rare occasions. However, if you have symptoms and the tests are negative at that time then you need to find another cause.
