The Beta-2 Glycoprotein Test is a simple blood test that looks for antibodies linked to blood clots. You may also hear it called the beta-2 glycoprotein I antibodies test, anti beta-2 GPI test, or B2GPI antibodies test. If your doctor wants to check for these antibodies, you can book at participating labs on LabFinder.
This test, sometimes called anti beta-2 GPI or beta-2 glycoprotein I IgG or IgM, measures antibodies in your blood that can be tied to a higher risk of clots. It helps your doctor see if your immune system is making antibodies that may affect clotting.
Common reasons: a history of blood clots in the leg or lung, strokes or TIAs at a younger age, repeated pregnancy losses, low platelets without a clear cause, or checking for antiphospholipid syndrome along with related tests. Your doctor may also order it if you have lupus or another autoimmune condition.
You will check in, show your lab order, and a phlebotomist will take a small blood sample from your arm. The area is cleaned, a brief draw is done, and a bandage is placed. Most visits take about 10 to 25 minutes from arrival to finish. You can head out right after the draw.
Yes, this is a quick, routine blood draw and is considered very safe. You might feel a quick pinch, notice a small bruise, or feel a little lightheaded for a moment afterward, but those effects usually fade quickly. Be sure to tell the staff if you take blood thinners, have a bleeding disorder, or if you have fainted during blood draws before. They will take extra care to keep you comfortable.
No special fasting for most people: eat and drink as usual unless your doctor says otherwise. Bring the basics: photo ID, insurance card, and your lab order. Stay hydrated: water before your visit can make the draw easier. Do not stop medicines on your own: blood thinners and other drugs can affect interpretation, so follow your doctor’s advice. Tell the team about supplements: high dose biotin can interfere with some lab methods. Always follow any instructions from your doctor or the lab and bring prior results if you have them.
Antiphospholipid syndrome, unexplained blood clots, pulmonary embolism, recurrent miscarriages, strokes or mini strokes at a younger age, and low platelet counts tied to immune causes. Results are only one part of the picture. Your doctor will review them with your history and symptoms before advising next steps.
You can compare locations, see time slots, and book online at participating labs. It is easy to search for a convenient location in your area or by city or ZIP.
