Overview

The primary purpose of this test is to detect and quantify IgG and IgM antibodies against phosphatidylserine in the blood. It supports the diagnosis of antiphospholipid syndrome and other autoimmune conditions. The results aid physicians in evaluating immune-mediated thrombotic risk and in monitoring patients with known autoimmune diseases.

No special preparation is required for this test.

Method: Venipuncture

Step 2

Laboratory Analysis

A blood sample is collected by venipuncture from a vein in the arm. The procedure takes just a few minutes.

Step 3

Report Delivery

You can resume daily activities immediately after sample collection. There are no activity restrictions.

Timeline: Reports are typically delivered within 3 working days after the sample reaches the laboratory.

Patient Instructions

1
Before the Test:No special preparation required. It is advisable to inform your healthcare provider about all prescription and non-prescription medicines you are taking.
2
During the Test:A tourniquet is placed on your upper arm to make veins more visible. The skin is cleaned with an antiseptic, and blood is drawn into a serum separator tube.
3
After the Test:Pressure is applied to the puncture site to prevent bleeding. A small bruise may appear but is harmless. You can leave immediately after the procedure.

Doctor's Notes

Reviewed by — MBBS, MD (General Medicine) · Reg. No. 8052

"Phosphatidylserine antibodies are part of the antiphospholipid antibody family. Their presence should be correlated with clinical findings, as isolated positivity may occur without thrombosis or pregnancy morbidity."

Understanding Your Results

The results are interpreted as negative, positive, or borderline based on the antibody levels.
📊

Negative

No significant level of phosphatidylserine antibodies detected. Suggestive of low likelihood for antiphospholipid antibody-mediated changes.

📊

Borderline/Equivocal

Antibody levels are near the cutoff. Repeat testing after a few weeks may be advised.

📊

Positive

Elevated levels of phosphatidylserine IgG/IgM antibodies are present. This may support a diagnosis of antiphospholipid syndrome in the appropriate clinical context.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult your physician if you have experienced recurrent blood clots, pregnancy loss, a condition such as lupus, or unexplained symptoms like fatigue and joint pain.

Limitations

  • ⚠A positive result does not confirm a diagnosis alone; it must be interpreted with clinical findings.
  • ⚠Weakly positive results may require confirmation with repeat testing.
  • ⚠Test is not intended for screening the general population.

Risks & Considerations

  • ●Slight pain or bruising at the puncture site
  • ●Excessive bleeding from the puncture site (rare)
  • ●Infection (very rare)

Interfering Factors

  • ●Hemolysis
  • ●Lipemia
  • ●Improper sample storage
  • ●Recent immunosuppressive therapy

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a phosphatidylserine antibody test measure?
It measures the level of IgG and IgM antibodies directed against phosphatidylserine, an anionic phospholipid found on cell membranes. Elevated levels may be associated with antiphospholipid syndrome and other autoimmune disorders.
Why do I need this test?
Your doctor may order this test if you have had unexplained blood clots, recurrent miscarriages, or symptoms suggestive of an autoimmune disease such as lupus or antiphospholipid syndrome.
Does this test require fasting?
No, fasting is not required for this test. You can eat and drink normally before providing the blood sample.
What is the cost of the test?
The test cost is INR 5500 at DNA Labs India. This price includes home sample collection and digital delivery of reports.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically delivered within 3 working days after the sample is received by the laboratory.
What is the difference between IgG and IgM antibodies?
IgG and IgM are different classes of immunoglobulins. IgM antibodies often appear early in an immune response, while IgG antibodies usually appear later and may indicate a more established or chronic immune reaction.
Can a positive result diagnose antiphospholipid syndrome?
No, a positive result alone is not sufficient to diagnose antiphospholipid syndrome. Diagnosis requires both laboratory evidence (persistent positive antibodies) and clinical features such as thrombosis or pregnancy morbidity.
Are there any risks involved with the blood draw?
The blood draw is a routine procedure with minimal risks. You may experience slight pain or bruising at the puncture site. Serious complications such as infection or excessive bleeding are extremely rare.
Can medications affect the test results?
Certain medications, especially immunosuppressants or anticoagulants, may influence antibody levels. It is important to inform your healthcare provider about all medications and supplements you are taking.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, DNA Labs India offers free home sample collection for this test in multiple cities across India. A trained phlebotomist will visit your location to collect the blood sample.
What other tests may be ordered along with this panel?
This test is often combined with anticardiolipin antibodies, beta-2 glycoprotein 1 antibodies, and lupus anticoagulant test to evaluate antiphospholipid syndrome more comprehensively. Your doctor may also order an ANA panel to screen for lupus.
Where can I get this test done in India?
DNA Labs India offers this test across major cities including Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata, Pune, Ahmedabad, and other locations. You can book online through the website.
