What is a Cardiolipin Antibody (ACL-IgM) Test in Indore?
The Cardiolipin Antibody (ACL-IgM) Test in Indore measures specific IgM antibodies that target cardiolipin, a type of fat found in your cell membranes. The presence of these antibodies suggests autoimmune activity that may increase your risk for abnormal blood clotting or recurrent pregnancy loss.
Doctors commonly recommend this test for diagnosing Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS) and other autoimmune disorders such as Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). The test requires a small blood sample drawn from a vein and is performed using Fluorescence Immunoassay (FIA) technology at Metropolis Healthcare’s advanced diagnostic facilities in Indore.
What Does a Cardiolipin Antibody (ACL-IgM) Test Measure in Indore?
The test checks for and measures the amount of cardiolipin IgM antibodies in your blood to:
- Detect autoimmune activity linked to abnormal blood clotting.
- Evaluate risk of thrombosis, stroke, or heart attack.
- Investigate recurrent miscarriages or pregnancy complications.
- Support diagnosis and monitoring of lupus or Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS).
- Help doctors plan anticoagulant therapy for patients at risk of clotting disorders.
Who Should Consider a Cardiolipin Antibody (ACL-IgM) Test?
- Have experienced unexplained blood clots (in legs, lungs, or brain).
- Suffer from repeated miscarriages or infertility without clear cause.
- Have been diagnosed with autoimmune conditions like lupus.
- Show symptoms such as fatigue, joint pain, or skin rash suggestive of autoimmune disorders.

What Is the Purpose of a Cardiolipin Antibody (ACL-IgM) Test?
The Cardiolipin Antibody (ACL-IgM) Test in Indore helps identify the presence of antibodies that increase your risk of blood clots and pregnancy complications.
