About this test
Anticardiolipin antibodies are antibodies against cardiolipin, a fat-based molecule in cell membranes. They're one of the main tests for antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), sometimes called sticky blood syndrome, where the immune system makes the blood more likely to clot.
When it's used
- A blood clot in a vein or artery, such as a DVT, pulmonary embolism or stroke, especially at a young age or without an obvious cause.
- Recurrent miscarriage (three or more early losses, or one later in pregnancy), or complications such as pre-eclampsia, often as part of fertility investigations.
- Lupus or another autoimmune condition, where APS is more common.
- A prolonged clotting test (such as an APTT) found on routine bloods.
What your result means
- Negative: makes APS less likely, although doctors also look at other antiphospholipid tests.
- Positive: raises the possibility of APS, but antibodies can appear for a short time after an infection. APS is only diagnosed when results are positive on two occasions at least 12 weeks apart, together with a history of clots or pregnancy complications.
For a complete check, anticardiolipin IgG is usually tested with anticardiolipin IgM, beta-2 glycoprotein I antibodies and a lupus anticoagulant test (dRVVT). If you're pregnant or planning a pregnancy, please discuss results with your doctor or fertility clinic.
