Definition
What Anti-Cardiolipin Antibodies measures
Anti-cardiolipin antibodies are autoantibodies against a phospholipid. Shoemaker-style panels include them as a clotting-and-autoimmune confounder.

Why it matters
How clinicians usually read it
They are a venous immunology send-out. A positive result belongs with a clinician, not with an automated protocol.
When it reads low
A lower value can mean
A lower or negative result is the usual quiet pattern. It does not rule out other autoimmune or clotting questions.
When it reads high
A higher value can mean
A higher result can mark antiphospholipid activity and needs clinical follow-up. Transient positives after infection also happen.
Questions for a clinician
Bring the number into a real conversation
01
Which isotype is this — IgG, IgM, or IgA?
02
Do we repeat in 12 weeks before calling this persistent?
03
Does this change anything in the CIRS sequence right now?
