Test Overview & Methodology

The Antiphospholipid Syndrome Panel detects autoantibodies against phospholipids, confirming APS in patients with recurrent thrombosis or pregnancy complications. This comprehensive panel uses dual-method ELISA (anti-cardiolipin, anti-β2-GPI) and dRVVT/coagulation for lupus anticoagulant, following ISTH guidelines.

Parameter	Our APL Panel (ISO 9001:2015)	Standard Alternative
Precision	Dual-method ELISA + dRVVT/coagulation for lupus anticoagulant	Often single ELISA or standalone coagulation
Methodology	ELISA (Enzyme Immunoassay) & Electromechanical Clot Detection per ISTH guidelines	EIA only or manual clot detection
Speed	Sample daily by 3 PM, Report Next Day – Cold-Chain Home Collection included	2–5 working days, often no home service

Physician Insight & Safety Protocols

“This panel is a cornerstone for assessing thrombotic risk and recurrent pregnancy loss. Always interpret results in conjunction with clinical history, as positive antibodies require repeat testing after 12 weeks for definitive APS diagnosis. I recommend thorough discussion of anticoagulant management with your treating physician.” — Dr. Ajay Singh, General Practitioner, DHA License: 36234132

⚠️ Medication Advisory

Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. Heparin and oral anticoagulants must be paused only under medical supervision to prevent clot recurrence.

Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance

1. How should I prepare for the APL panel test?

Fasting overnight is preferred; your doctor will advise temporary cessation of heparin for 1 day and oral anticoagulants for 7 days under close supervision. The requires a venous blood draw, and we provide at-home collection with cold-chain transport to preserve sample integrity.

2. What does a positive antiphospholipid panel mean?

A positive result indicates the presence of autoantibodies that may increase risk of blood clots or pregnancy complications, but confirmation requires repeat testing after 12 weeks. Clinical correlation with thrombosis or obstetric history is essential; not all positives lead to a definitive APS diagnosis.

3. Is home collection safe and compliant with UAE laws?
