Clinical Information
Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test

The anti-phospholipid syndrome (APS) is a disorder of recurrent vascular thrombosis associated with persistently positive anticardiolipin (aCL) or lupus anticoagulant tests. In patients with APS, anticardiolipin antibodies bind a variety of charged phospholipids, including phosphatidylethanolimine, as well as they do cardiolipin. Lupus patients also have high titers of autoantibodies to various phospholipids, including

phosphatidylethanolimine.

 

Presentations of the syndrome include thrombosis of deep veins of the legs, as well as renal, hepatic, inferior vena cava or sagittal veins. Occlusion of the arterial circulation may be manifested as stroke, ischemic retinopathy, myocardial or bowel infarction, or peripheral gangrene. Thrombosis can occur in veins or arteries of any size. Recurrent pregnancy loss also appears to be the result of thrombosis within the placental vasculature.

 

Anti-phospholipid antibody tests are supplemental tests and should not be used alone for diagnostic purposes. Diagnosis of anti-phospholipid syndrome must be made in conjunction with other clinical indications.

Reference Values
Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.

Day(s) Performed
Outlines the days the test is performed. This field reflects the day that the sample must be in the testing laboratory to begin the testing process and includes any specimen preparation and processing time before the test is performed. Some tests are listed as continuously performed, which means that assays are performed multiple times during the day.

Wednesday

Report Available
The interval of time (receipt of sample at Mayo Clinic Laboratories to results available) taking into account standard setup days and weekends. The first day is the time that it typically takes for a result to be available. The last day is the time it might take, accounting for any necessary repeated testing.

3 to 11 days

Test Classification
Provides information regarding the medical device classification for laboratory test kits and reagents. Tests may be classified as cleared or approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and used per manufacturer instructions, or as products that do not undergo full FDA review and approval, and are then labeled as an Analyte Specific Reagent (ASR) product.

The performance characteristics of the listed assay was validated by BioAgilytix Diagnostics. The US FDA has not approved or cleared this test. The results of this assay can be used for clinical diagnosis without FDA approval. BioAgilytix Diagnostics is a CLIA certified, CAP accredited laboratory for performing high complexity assays such as this one.

CPT Code Information
Provides guidance in determining the appropriate Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code(s) information for each test or profile. The listed CPT codes reflect Mayo Clinic Laboratories interpretation of CPT coding requirements. It is the responsibility of each laboratory to determine correct CPT codes to use for billing.

CPT codes are provided by the performing laboratory.
