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.

Follow specific instructions provided by your healthcare provider. Use a sterile container and collect a fresh sample.

The test can identify most bacterial, viral, and parasitic infections causing gastrointestinal symptoms.

Blood in the stool may indicate gastrointestinal bleeding, which requires further evaluation to determine the cause.

Results are typically available within 2 to 3 days after sample submission.

Your healthcare provider may recommend specific dietary modifications or restrictions before sample collection.

Risks include infection, bleeding, changes in urinary function, and potential need for additional treatments or adjustments.
