Understanding Your Body’s Defence System: The Phospholipid Antibody IgM Test
When your body’s immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells, it can create serious health complications that often go undiagnosed for years. Many South Africans experience unexplained symptoms like fatigue, joint pain, or recurrent health issues without understanding the underlying cause. The Phospholipid Antibody IgM Test provides the answers you need to understand your body’s immune response and protect your long-term health.
What Does This Test Actually Detect?
This test measures IgM antibodies against phospholipids in your blood. Think of phospholipids as essential building blocks that help maintain the structure of your cells and regulate blood clotting. When your immune system produces antibodies against these important molecules, it can lead to conditions like Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS), which increases your risk of blood clots, stroke, and pregnancy complications.
Our advanced Enzyme Immunoassay method ensures precise, reliable results that your healthcare provider can use to make informed decisions about your care.
Who Should Consider This Test?
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms or situations, this test could provide crucial insights:
- Unexplained blood clots or thrombosis
- Recurrent miscarriages or pregnancy complications
- Family history of autoimmune disorders
- Unexplained stroke at a young age
- Persistent fatigue and joint pain without clear cause
- Skin conditions like livedo reticularis (mottled skin)
- Headaches or neurological symptoms
Early detection can help prevent serious complications and guide appropriate treatment strategies.
