Also known as: Cardio IQ Fibrinogen Antigen, Nephelometry , Circulating Platelet Antibody, Serum, Platelet Antibodies Indirect IgG IgM, Platelet Antibody
The Platelet Antibodies, Indirect (IgG, IgM) test contains 1 test with 2 biomarkers.
Circulating antibodies to platelets have been associated with immune and drug-induced thrombocytopenia. Elevated levels of platelet - associated antibodies may occur in autoimmune thrombocytopenia, as well as thrombocytopenia associated with carcinoma, AIDS, and connective tissue diseases. Both circulating and associated platelet antibodies may play a role in platelet destruction. Platelet antibodies may consist of a single isotype (IgG, IgM, or IgA) or any combination of isotypes.
