Anti-Phospholipid Antibodies

Test information: Cardiolipin antibodies may be present in patients with SLE, often in association with lupus anticoagulant. However, antibody levels do not correlate with extent or severity of thrombosis, and as such repeat measurement at least 12 weeks later is necessary
