Lupus Anticoagulant - Book Test at Low Cost

The lupus anticoagulant test screens for antibodies that cause clotting issues. An antibody is a protein found in the blood that fights microorganisms.

This test is used to look for thrombotic episodes or blood clots, PTT or partial thromboplastin time and determine why there are so many miscarriages. It is also used to look for the cause of miscarriages. It tries to figure out if the immune system is making enough antibodies. It might be good to get a lupus anticoagulation profile done when you have symptoms of blood clots in your vein or artery if you have had many miscarriages.
