Medicine and laboratory testing are constantly changing. In an attempt to keep us all on the same page, the Laboratory Formulary Committee will be regularly sending out emails with recent updates and guidances. Below are the short versions of relevant changes. Attached are more in-depth resources about the changes.

B2Glycoprotein IgA and Anticardiolipin IgA antibody testing: Starting January 21st, testing for B2Glycoprotein IgA and Anticardiolipin IgA antibody testing will be offered in-house (rather than sent out to a reference lab as is currently done).  These tests can be ordered using Epic Codes LAB8775 (B2Glycoprotein IgA) or LAB1734 (Anticardiolipin IgA).  Testing will be run on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  Please see the attached summary and guidance for details.
