This test is used as an aid in the diagnosis of certain autoimmune thrombotic disorders, such as antiphospholipid syndrome (aPS). Antibodies to PS/PT correlate with the presence of lupus anticoagulants (LA) and this test may be useful in cases with difficult LA test interpretation. This assay may also assist in the determination of risk for thrombosis as well as obstetric complications in patients with antiphospholipid antibodies.
What is APS?
The antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is a unique form of acquired autoimmune thrombophilia characterized by recurrent arterial and/or venous thrombosis, pregnancy-related complications (including miscarriages, fetal deaths, premature births, and preeclampsia), and the persistent presence of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL).
