What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing unexplained blood clots, or if you've had repeated miscarriages or pregnancy complications that doctors couldn't fully explain. It looks for antibodies that can make your blood more likely to clot abnormally. It's also useful if you've already been diagnosed with an autoimmune clotting disorder and need more information about your antibody status.

What's included in this test?

This test measures a single antibody type that targets a combination of phosphatidylserine and prothrombin, two substances involved in blood clotting. Checking for this antibody helps identify an autoimmune pattern that's strongly linked to abnormal blood clotting and pregnancy complications, even when other standard clotting antibody tests come back negative.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will show up in your account with a clear explanation of what's considered a normal range for this antibody. If your result comes back positive, next steps usually involve retesting to confirm persistence, since a single positive result isn't enough to diagnose a clotting disorder on its own. A full downloadable lab report is available in your account, and you can track this result over time using the trends feature to see if levels change. If your result is very high or you have symptoms of an active clot, such as sudden leg swelling or chest pain, seek medical care right away.

Who should consider this test?

This test is a good fit for people who've had a blood clot with no clear cause, especially at a younger age or in an unusual location. It's also worth considering if you've had two or more unexplained pregnancy losses or other pregnancy complications like severe preeclampsia. People already being monitored for lupus or other autoimmune conditions may also want this information.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Symptoms that may point to a need for this test include swelling, pain, or warmth in a leg (possible sign of a deep vein clot), sudden shortness of breath or chest pain, or unexplained bruising. On the pregnancy side, repeated miscarriages, stillbirth, or severe complications like preeclampsia can also be signs worth investigating. If you're having any of these symptoms right now, especially chest pain or trouble breathing, seek medical care immediately rather than waiting for test results.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically ready within about 7 days of your lab visit. You'll get a notification once your report is available, and you can log into your account anytime to view the full breakdown of your result.

How can I naturally support healthy blood flow and clotting balance?

While antibody levels themselves aren't controlled by lifestyle, you can support overall healthy circulation by staying active, avoiding long periods of sitting or immobility, staying well hydrated, and not smoking. Eating a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants may also support vascular health. These steps don't replace medical treatment if you're diagnosed with a clotting disorder, but they're good general habits.

What does a positive result mean?

A positive result means this specific antibody was detected in your blood, which is associated with a higher risk of abnormal clotting and pregnancy complications. One positive test isn't usually enough for a diagnosis — these antibodies need to show up on two tests at least 12 weeks apart to be considered clinically significant. If you test positive, it's worth discussing retesting timing and any current symptoms with whoever is managing your care.

What causes this antibody to be elevated?

This antibody is typically produced by the immune system mistakenly targeting your own proteins involved in clotting, a hallmark of autoimmune conditions like antiphospholipid syndrome. It can also occur alongside other autoimmune diseases such as lupus, or sometimes appear temporarily after infections. In some cases, no clear underlying cause is ever identified.

How often should I retest?

If your first result is positive, confirming with a repeat test at least 12 weeks later is standard practice, since temporary antibody spikes can happen. If you're negative and have no symptoms, there's usually no need to retest unless new symptoms or pregnancy complications arise. Anyone managing a known clotting condition may want to retest periodically as part of ongoing monitoring.
