Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am looking for a third opinion. I have positive cardiolipin IgM and IgG. Tested three times over 11 months. Keeps elevating. What should be done about this? Two current doctors say it is normal.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

The cardiolipin antibody positive result for two times with 6 to 12 week interval, suggestive of anti-phospholipid antibody syndrome. However, to diagnose the case as antiphospholipid antibody syndrome clinical criteria also should be fulfilled. The clinical criteria include the history of thrombosis attack or pregnancy loss history. So, kindly provide any of such clinical history, if present.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
