Anti-Phospholipid Antibody Price in Bangladesh

What is Anti-Phospholipid Antibody?

The Anti-Phospholipid Antibody test detects antibodies against phospholipids, which are fat molecules found in cell membranes. These antibodies are associated with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), an autoimmune disorder that increases the risk of blood clots, miscarriages, and stroke.

APS can cause complications like deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism, or heart attack. The test is typically ordered if a person has unexplained clotting issues or pregnancy complications.

It is performed with a blood sample, and the risks are minimal, typically involving slight discomfort during the blood draw. Elevated levels may prompt further testing and management.

What to expect & how to prepare

A sample is collected at the centre and analysed in the laboratory. The sample type — blood, urine, stool or another body fluid — depends on the specific test, and the collection staff will tell you which one applies.

• Fasting: only some laboratory tests need fasting, and this varies test by test. Ask the centre whether fasting is required for this specific test when you book, rather than assuming.
• Medication: tell the laboratory about medicines, supplements and recent injections, because some can affect results.
• Requesting slip: bring the doctor's advice or previous reports so the laboratory runs and compares the right test.
• Report timing: turnaround differs between routine and specialised tests — the centre will tell you when your report is ready.

Have a registered doctor interpret the result together with your symptoms rather than self-diagnosing from reference ranges.
