Phosphatidic Acid IgM
The Phosphatidic Acid IgM test detects IgM antibodies directed against phosphatidic acid, a key phospholipid component of cell membranes involved in cellular signalling and membrane structure.
IgM antibodies are typically associated with more recent or active immune responses and may be relevant when assessing suspected autoimmune or inflammatory conditions.
Phospholipid antibodies can interfere with normal clotting mechanisms and may be assessed as part of a broader antiphospholipid antibody panel.
Results are interpreted alongside other phospholipid antibody tests and clinical findings.
