The Lupus Anticoagulant blood test is performed to detect the presence of lupus anticoagulant antibodies in the blood. These antibodies are associated with an increased risk of abnormal blood clotting.
Sample Type: The test requires a small blood sample, typically obtained by drawing blood from a vein in your arm using a needle.
Normal Range: The Lupus Anticoagulant test does not have a defined “normal range” like other blood tests. Instead, it is reported as either positive or negative for the presence of lupus anticoagulant antibodies.
Lupus anticoagulant antibodies are not related to the autoimmune disease lupus, despite the similar name. Instead, they are associated with an increased risk of abnormal blood clotting events, such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or recurrent pregnancy loss.
If the Lupus Anticoagulant test is positive, it indicates the presence of these antibodies in the blood. However, it’s important to note that a positive result does not necessarily mean that the person has or will develop abnormal blood clotting. Further evaluation and additional tests may be required to assess the risk of clotting and determine appropriate management.
It’s important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper interpretation of your Lupus Anticoagulant test results and to discuss any necessary steps or treatments based on the findings, especially if you have a personal or family history of blood clotting disorders.
