Frequently Asked Questions
What is Beta 2 glycoprotein IgG test used for?
This test detects anti-β2 glycoprotein 1 IgG antibodies, which are one of the three laboratory criteria for diagnosing antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), an autoimmune disorder causing blood clots and pregnancy complications.
Is fasting required for this test?
No, fasting is not required for Beta 2 glycoprotein IgG testing. Blood can be drawn at any time of day.
When should this test be repeated?
According to diagnostic criteria, positive results must be confirmed by repeating the test at least 12 weeks apart to distinguish transient antibodies from persistent antiphospholipid syndrome.
What does a positive result mean?
A positive result indicates the presence of anti-β2GP1 IgG antibodies, which increases the risk of venous or arterial thrombosis, recurrent miscarriages, and other pregnancy complications. Clinical correlation is essential for diagnosis.
How is the sample collected?
A standard venous blood draw of approximately 1 mL into a plain serum separator tube is used. The sample is centrifuged and the serum is analyzed using ELISA methodology.
