About this test

The APLA basic profile is a screening blood test for antiphospholipid antibodies, which increase the risk of abnormal blood clotting and pregnancy complications. It usually includes anticardiolipin IgG and IgM, and sometimes anti-beta-2 glycoprotein I antibodies, depending on the lab.

A normal result is negative.

Persistently positive results, confirmed at least 12 weeks apart, suggest antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), which causes DVT, pulmonary embolism, stroke, recurrent miscarriages, and preeclampsia. It is common in lupus (SLE).

Positive results may need a comprehensive APLA profile, including lupus anticoagulant, for confirmation.

Questions about this test

When should I get the APLA BASIC PROFILE test?

You should get an APLA basic profile if you have recurrent miscarriages, unexplained blood clots (DVT or pulmonary embolism), or a stroke at a young age. It is also recommended for lupus (SLE) or other autoimmune diseases, low platelets, a prolonged aPTT, and before planning pregnancy after previous losses.

How should I prepare for the APLA BASIC PROFILE test?

No special preparation or fasting is required for an APLA basic profile. Inform your doctor about any blood thinners (don’t stop them without advice), recent infections, blood clots, or pregnancy, as infections can cause temporary positive results. A repeat test after 12 weeks may be needed to confirm positive results.

Do I require fasting for the APLA BASIC PROFILE test?

No, fasting is not required for an APLA basic profile. You can eat and drink normally before giving your sample, and the test can be done at any time of day. Inform your doctor about any blood thinners, recent infections, or pregnancy.
