Anti Phospholipid (APL) test is a blood test which detects presence of the antibodies in human tissues. This blood test is usually required to detect presence of certain autoimmune disorders.
Human body has a well developed immune system which synthesizes antibodies to counter any toxic or harmful influences. However, at times, due to genetic dysfunction, the immune system forms antibodies against the person's own body tissues. APL antibodies are synthesized against phospholipids which form an important part of blood vessels. These antibodies lead to recurrent and excessive blood clot formation which has harmful consequences.

Indications of undergoing Anti Phospholipid Antibody Test:
- History of repeated abortions
- Diagnosis of lupus
- Active or past history of any cancer
- Abnormal levels of clotting time
- Abnormal levels of prothrombin test
Other symptoms apart from those mentioned above may also necessitate undergoing the test.
How is APL Test Performed?
APL test involves collecting a blood sample from a vein in the patient's arm. Patients may have to visit a pathology lab for sample collection or they could have a laboratory technician visit them at home.
APL test can be performed at those laboratories which are equipped with modern medical technology. Highly calibrated equipment providing results of great accuracy are required to detect presence and levels of anti phospholipid antibodies. Absence of antibodies does not necessitate that the patient is healthy. Patients may be asked to repeat the test after a few weeks. Both results are compared by the doctor before confirming any diagnosis. Patients who show positive results of the antibodies but with low levels, are also asked to repeat the test some time later.
Higher levels of anti phospholipid antibodies pose a constant risk of developing a blood clot which could have fatal consequences. Therefore, it is necessary to start immediate medical treatment if the test results are abnormal.
In addition to anti phospholipid antibody test, patients may also be asked to undergo clotting time test, prothrombin test, tumor marker tests or scans like USG, MRI, CT scan, depending on the diagnosis.
