Measure lupus anticoagulant, a protein that increases the risk of developing blood clots in both the veins and arteries.
This blood test measures the level of lupus anticoagulant, a protein that can interfere with normal blood clotting. High levels increase the risk of blood clots forming in veins (deep vein thrombosis) and arteries (stroke, heart attack). This test is crucial for diagnosing and managing conditions like antiphospholipid syndrome and helps assess the risk of thrombotic events. It's important for individuals with a history of unexplained blood clots or those with suspected autoimmune disorders.
Key Details
Who Is This For?
People taking blood-thinning medications (warfarin, heparin) who need regular monitoring. Anyone with unexplained bruising, prolonged bleeding, or a history of blood clots. Women with recurrent miscarriages, which can be caused by clotting disorders. People with a family history of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism.
What's Included
Preparation Required
Fasting for 10–12 hours before your appointment is recommended for accurate results (water is fine). Avoid alcohol for 24 hours and intense exercise for 12 hours before the blood draw. Morning appointments are ideal for consistent hormone and glucose readings. The blood draw typically takes 5–10 minutes.
Biomarkers Tested
2Measures the level of lupus anticoagulant, a protein that can interfere with normal blood clotting.
Activated partial thromboplastin time ratio — measures how long it takes blood to clot through the intrinsic pathway. Used to monitor heparin therapy and detect clotting factor deficiencies or lupus anticoagulant.
