Phosphatidyl Serine IgM

Phospholipid Antibodies and Their Clinical Significance
Phospholipid antibodies are autoantibodies directed against phospholipids, which are key components of cell membranes. Their presence is often associated with autoimmune and thrombotic conditions, leading to a wide range of clinical symptoms.

Health Conditions Associated with Phospholipid Antibodies
The presence of phospholipid antibodies is linked to multiple medical conditions, including:

Pregnancy Morbidity, such as recurrent miscarriage or stillbirth

Antiphospholipid Syndrome (Hughes Syndrome)

Livedoid Vasculitis, causing inflammation and clotting in small blood vessels

Vertebrobasilar Insufficiency, affecting blood flow to the brainstem

Behçet’s Syndrome, a chronic inflammatory disorder

Thrombosis, including deep vein thrombosis and arterial blood clots

Cutaneous Circulation Disorders, such as livedo reticularis and pyoderma gangrenosum

Thrombocytopenia, a condition marked by low platelet levels

Hemolytic Anaemia, caused by premature destruction of red blood cells

Nonbacterial Thrombotic Endocarditis, affecting heart valves

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)
