Overview

Anti-Cardiolipin Antibodies (ACA) are a type of autoantibody that targets cardiolipin, a phospholipid found in the inner mitochondrial membrane. ACA can be of the IgG, IgM, or IgA class and are often associated with autoimmune disorders such as antiphospholipid syndrome. The test is performed by collecting a blood sample and measuring the levels of ACA using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) or a similar technique. Elevated levels of ACA can indicate an increased risk for blood clots and other complications.

Who should do this test?

Patients with autoimmune diseases: Anti-cardiolipin antibodies are commonly found in patients with autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis, and antiphospholipid syndrome. Testing for anti-cardiolipin antibodies can help in the diagnosis and management of these diseases.

Patients with a history of blood clots: Anti-cardiolipin antibodies are associated with an increased risk of blood clots, especially in the veins. Testing for anti-cardiolipin antibodies can help identify patients at high risk of thrombosis and prevent future events.

Patients with recurrent miscarriages: Anti-cardiolipin antibodies have been implicated in recurrent miscarriages, particularly in the first trimester. Testing for these antibodies can help diagnose the underlying cause of recurrent pregnancy loss and guide appropriate treatment.

What to do if the test is abnormal?

The person should consult their healthcare provider to discuss the interpretation of the abnormal test results and determine any potential underlying conditions or diseases that may be associated with the abnormal results.

The healthcare provider may recommend repeat testing to confirm the abnormal findings and potentially order additional tests to further investigate the underlying cause of the abnormal results.

Depending on the underlying cause of the abnormal results, the healthcare provider may recommend treatment and management strategies to address the condition and prevent potential complications.
