Phospholipid antibodies are a type of abnormal protein in the blood that targets phospholipids, a type of fat that helps keep the cells healthy. These are usually made when the immune system mistakes part of the body as a threat. These antibodies are primarily associated with autoimmune conditions, particularly antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). It is a disorder that can lead to blood clots, pregnancy complications, and other health issues. These antibodies may also be seen temporarily in individuals with acute infec...

The Anti Phospholipid Antibody IgM test measures the levels of immunoglobulin M (IgM) antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) in the blood. These antibodies are formed when the immune system mistakenly targets and attacks phospholipids (the essential component of cell membranes). Once formed, these antibodies can bind to phospholipids and other proteins, leading to the development of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), which increases the likelihood of abnormal blood clotting, recurrent miscarriages, and other complications.
