Did you know?

Lupus anticoagulant is a type of antiphospholipid antibody. Despite its confusing name, it is not an anticoagulant and does not cause bleeding. Instead, it is a pro-thrombotic antibody that interferes with phospholipid-dependent coagulation tests in the laboratory, most commonly causing a prolonged Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT). The presence of lupus anticoagulant, along with other antiphospholipid antibodies (like anti-cardiolipin), is part of the Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS). This is an autoimmune condition that predisposes patients to abnormal blood clotting (venous or arterial thrombosis) and pregnancy complications like recurrent miscarriages.
