Testing for and clinical significance of anticardiolipin antibodies.
The disputed nomenclature of the antibodies associated with the antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) can easily confuse the reader. In this paper we use the historical terms; thus, “antiphospholipid antibodies” (aPL) refers to antibodies associated with the clinical syndrome of venous and arterial thrombosis, recurrent fetal loss, livido reticularis, thrombocytopenia, and other, less common manifest...
متن کاملClinical significance of anticardiolipin antibodies in juvenile idiopathic arthritis.
OBJECTIVE Anticardiolipin antibodies (aCL) have been demonstrated in a large spectrum of autoimmune diseases. However, its occurrence in childhood, in particular in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), is not well established. The present study addressed the frequency and clinical significance of aCL in a group of JIA patients. METHODS aCL (IgG and IgM isotypes), antinuclear antibodies (ANA),...

Background: Anticardiolipin (ACL) antibodies are associated with a wide variety of disorders including malignancies. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and prognostic implication of ACL antibodies in patients with Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL). Methods: Sixty-four patients with NHL were included in this study. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits were used to measure the c...

متن کامل[Clinical significance of antiphospholipid antibody measured by EliA anticardiolipin antibodies and anti-β2Glycoprotein I antibodies in antiphospholipid syndrome].
Anticardiolipin antibodies (aCL-IgG/IgM) and anti-β2-glycoprotein I antibodies (aβ2GPI-IgG/IgM) are laboratory tests included in the current classification criteria for definite antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). However, not all of these assays have been commercially available in Japan. We investigated the efficacy of aCL-IgG/IgM and aβ2GPI-IgG/IgM assays using fluorescence enzyme immunoassay (P...
