Anti Phospholipid Antibodies IgA test is a test carried out on a blood sample to determine the measure of immunoglobulin A(IgA), a common antibody, in your blood. In actuality, antibodies defend the body against infections. But Anti Phospholipid Antibodies like IgA attack phospholipids, which is a type of fat found in blood cells and cell membranes, and damage those cells. This results in blood clots in the arteries and veins, excess of which is harmful. IgA particularly, is found in the respiratory passages, gastrointestinal tract, tears and saliva and its high concentration may result in allergic reactions and immune system disorders and disorders of the kidneys, lungs and intestines

No specific preparation is required for this test. However, it is advisable to keep your doctor informed in case you are allergic to anything or if you are on any kind of medication. The doctor will inform you of necessary precautions or actions to be taken in that case.

To confirm a diagnosis of antiphospholipid syndrome, the antibodies must appear in your blood at least twice, in tests conducted 12 or more weeks apart. The result of the IgA test depends on the age of the patient. There exists a range for the level of IgA in the blood, above or below which is an indication of different kinds of abnormalities.

The procedure for this test usually involves collection of the blood sample and will take only a few minutes An elastic band is tied around the upper band to create a pressure that will cause the veins to bulge out. A part of the skin is cleansed The needle cap is then removed and the needle point is held in alignment to the desired vein. With a careful and swift manner, the needle is inserted into the vein. The syringe plunger is pulled out slowly to collect the required amount of blood. A bandage or cotton is placed on the site where the needle is inserted to cease the bleeding, and the needle is pulled out. The wrap around your band is also released. A container, which has an appropriate preservative, is kept ready from before. The collected blood is moved into this container. The needle along with the syringe is disposed in a hygienic manner.
