Test Code

Lupus Anticoagulant is a coagulation and immunological test that detects antibodies interfering with normal blood clotting mechanisms. Despite the name, the presence of lupus anticoagulant is associated with an increased risk of abnormal blood clot formation rather than bleeding. These antibodies are commonly linked to antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and may occur in patients with autoimmune disorders such as systemic lupus erythematosus. The test is often advised for individuals with unexplained blood clots, recurrent miscarriages, prolonged clotting times, or stroke at a young age. Results are interpreted along with other antiphospholipid antibody tests for accurate diagnosis.
