Panel includes Russell's Viper Venom Test (RVVTM), Lupus Anticoagulant by HEXA (HEXA), Anticardiolipin Antibodies IgG & IgM (ACLG, ACLM), and Beta 2 Glycoprotein Antibodies IgG & IgM (B2GPG, B2GPM). If "Anti-phospholipid Antibody" is ordered without further specification, the Anti-phospholipid Panel will be performed.
Lupus anticoagulants, along with anti-cardiolipin antibodies and anti-Beta 2 Glycoprotein antibodies, are the major categories of anti-phospholipid antibodies. If a patient is being evaluated for anti-phospholipid antibody syndrome, the hematology laboratory service at Moffitt-Long recommends that the Russell's Viper Venom Test, Lupus Anticoagulant by HEXA, Anticardiolipin Antibodies IgG & IgM , and anti- Beta 2 Glycoprotein Antibodies IgG & IgM, each be performed as clinically indicated.
