Phospholipid IgM
The Phospholipid IgM test detects IgM antibodies against phospholipids, which may indicate more recent or active immune responses affecting blood clotting mechanisms.
IgM phospholipid antibodies can be transient and may appear during infections or inflammatory conditions.
This test is often used alongside IgG testing to provide a more complete assessment of phospholipid antibody status.
Results must be interpreted in clinical context, particularly when investigating unexplained clotting or pregnancy loss.
