Not really sure, seems like docs decide on their own tests and I wonder do you have any others on an annual level?

Hoping you are keeping well!

I'm not entirely sure either as labs do have their own ways of doing things but it looks like the cardiolipin antibodies are the only ones they are doing for APS.

I've been dealing with a company called Medichecks who offer private blood testing for those people who can't persuade their GP to test them and we agreed on the main three: (anti)cardiolipin, lupus anticoagulant and (anti) beta2-glycoprotein1 - medichecks.com/index.cfm?s=....

Hope this helps rather than muddy the water!

Not what you're looking for?
