BETA 2 GLYCOPROTEIN – IgM

Beta-2 Glycoprotein 1 antibodies play a crucial role in the diagnosis of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), especially when investigating unexplained blood clotting, thrombotic episodes, and venous thromboembolism. This test holds particular significance in understanding recurrent miscarriages in women. These antibodies, part of the antiphospholipid antibodies group, specifically target phospholipids in cell membranes and platelets, disrupting the blood clotting process in unpredictable ways. If left unaddressed, their presence increases the risk of abnormal blood clot formation in both veins and arteries. They are closely associated with autoimmune conditions like APS, marked by low platelet counts (thrombocytopenia), excessive blood clotting, and complications during pregnancy such as recurrent miscarriages and preeclampsia. Furthermore, individuals with autoimmune disorders like systemic lupus erythematosus may also produce Beta 2 glycoprotein 1 antibodies, heightening their vulnerability to irregular blood clotting within blood vessels. This test serves as a valuable tool for Hypro Diagnostics in identifying and managing these conditions effectively.
