Never hurts to repeat them. aCL levels can be strange....sometimes pos., sometimes neg (even after patients diagnosed with APS). In fact, for a diagnosis of APS, you need 2 positive aCL levels at least 6 weeks apart...plus a thrombotic event (which you already have). Being that you have other factors, it's good that he's checking them again.
