The test is used to help diagnose Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS), a condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks normal proteins in the blood, increasing the risk of blood clots. It can also assist in identifying the cause of unexplained thrombotic episodes (blood clots) or venous thromboembolism (VTE).
Additionally, the test helps determine the potential cause of recurrent miscarriages, especially in women who have experienced multiple pregnancy losses, particularly in the second or third trimesters.
If you have symptoms of APS, such as unexplained blood clots in veins or arteries, or have had more than one miscarriage, this test can provide crucial insights into your condition and help guide further treatment.
