I suspect I have a clotting issue but my Doctors don't quite believe that I do. These are my related test:IGM>100, Cardiolipin AB (IGM) =16H, PTT LA SCREEN= 46H, Hexagonal Phase Confirm =Positive. Drvvt screen = 34. Thrombin clotting time is at 16. Please help interpreting these Lab results and give me recommendations. Thank you.

14 weeks pregnant. Lupus anticoagulant 1.2, cardiolipin 11.1, Beta 2 glycoprotein I 57.5 IgG, IgM, IgA. 1 MA, 1 SA. Drinking 50mg of Aspirin daily. What is with me? Haematologist said I’m fine and there’s nothing to worry about, but I doubt so. Is it antiphospholipid syndrome or Lupus? Can you please explain? Waiting for gynaecologist appointment. I’m really worried 🥺

Fr a pregnant lady, shd the normalized ratio to be considered or control and test values to be considered for DRVVT? APT and PT test results are normal but DRVVT control and test values are slightly higher..

Who is that attendee who is coughing? Annoying. Maybe that person should go home and rest instead. Well this lecture was back in 2015.
