Understanding Your Results
No significant cardiolipin IgG antibodies detected. Low likelihood of antiphospholipid syndrome, but clinical correlation is advised.
Moderate levels; repeat testing recommended to confirm persistence. Monitor for symptoms and consider other autoimmune markers.
Elevated antibodies present, indicative of autoimmune conditions like antiphospholipid syndrome. Correlate with clinical history and additional tests for definitive diagnosis.
Consult your doctor if you have a positive test result, especially with symptoms like recurrent clots, miscarriages, or autoimmune signs. Also, seek advice before starting treatment based on test outcomes.
