The Anti-Phospholipid Antibody Test detects antibodies against phospholipids, helping diagnose antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and assess the risk of blood clots.

A blood sample is collected from a vein in your arm and analyzed for the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies.

No fasting or special preparation is required. You can eat and drink normally before the test.

Results are usually available within 1-2 days, depending on the laboratory’s processing time.

Discuss any abnormal results with your healthcare provider, who will guide you on further tests or treatment options based on your specific condition.

Techniques include implant-based reconstruction, autologous flap reconstruction, and a combination of both methods.

The test measures the total amount of calcium in your blood, including both free (ionized) calcium and calcium bound to proteins.

It provides crucial information about calcium levels, helping diagnose and manage conditions like osteoporosis, kidney disease, parathyroid disorders, and certain cancers.

Generally, fasting is not required. However, it’s important to inform your healthcare provider about any medications or supplements you’re taking, as these can affect the test results.

Results are typically available within a few hours to a day, allowing for prompt medical decision-making based on the calcium levels in your blood.

Abnormal levels can be caused by various factors, including parathyroid gland disorders, kidney disease, certain cancers, and dietary imbalances. Your healthcare provider will interpret the results and provide guidance based on your specific condition.
