ANTICARDIOLIPIN ANTIBODIES<br />
Test plasma : 10.78<br />
Type of plasma : Normal pooled plasma enriched with human CRP (127 mg/L)<br />
Former used in exercise : -<br />
Number of participants : 436<br />
Responders Number Percentage<br />
IgG 161 37%<br />
IgM 147 34%<br />
Remarks<br />
1. About 75 - 80% of the participants reported their results in GPL or MPL units. Only for those category a histogram is<br />
reported.<br />
2. Several participants reported a result < [value]. In general the value indicated was included into the statistical<br />
evaluations with the exception if the value was 5 or higher.<br />
3. Most of the participants who reported their results in the category “Others” indicated their results in U/mL.<br />
For most of the methods this seems to be the same as GPL or MPL, because the results in both unit categories are<br />
comparable. It is highly recommend to report results according to the unit indicated in the kit insert.<br />
