Lupus anticoagulants are antibodies that interfere with normal blood clotting function and increase the risk of developing blood clots in veins and arteries. These are produced by the immune system spontaneously due to certain medications, infections, or autoimmune diseases such as lupus erythematosus. Infections like syphilis and hepatitis C can increase the likelihood of acquiring lupus anticoagulants. The Lupus Anticoagulants (LAC) profile is a diagnostic test used to detect the presence of lupus anticoagulant antibodies in the blood. Lupus anticoagulants are autoantibodies that can interfere with the normal clotting process, leading to an increased risk of abnormal blood clot formation (thrombosis) or prolonged bleeding. The LAC profile involves a series of laboratory tests, including the activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), dilute Russell's viper venom time (dRVVT), and a mixing study. These tests help assess the presence and functional properties of lupus anticoagulant antibodies. A positive LAC profile indicates the presence of lupus anticoagulant and may be associated with conditions such as antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) or systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The LAC profile is crucial in the diagnosis and management of these autoimmune disorders, guiding appropriate treatment and preventive measures to reduce the risk of thrombotic events or excessive bleeding.

Frequently Asked Questions
The tests are principally used to diagnose the autoimmune disorder “systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), commonly known as lupus. To help find more information about the cause of a blood clot (thrombotic episode); to evaluate a prolonged partial thromboplastin time (PTT); to help determine the cause of recurrent miscarriages and antiphospholipid syndrome (since these antibodies attack phospholipids), the tests are not used to diagnose the chronic autoimmune disorder, which lasts for longer period of time than lupus.
Your doctor may recommend this test for you if you show signs of a blood clot in your veins mainly near your arms and legs, your lungs and stomach or kidneys. The test is also recommended when you have a prolonged PTT test of unknown reason and recurrent miscarriages
Whenever a foreign substance such as a bacteria, virus or any chemical enters our body, our body recognises it as an “antigen” and produces specific chemicals known as antibodies which attack it. However, in some unusual circumstances, our body might produce antibodies against its own cells and tissues, mistakenly, known as “autoantibodies”. Lupus anticoagulants (LA) are autoantibodies produced by the immune system that wrongly attack certain components of the body's own cells. They specifically target chemicals known as “phospholipids” as well as the proteins that are associated with phospholipids that are found in the outer-most layer of cells. These autoantibodies by an undiscovered mechanism cause trouble in the blood clotting process and increase a person's risk of developing a blood clot. Lupus anticoagulant testing includes a series of tests that detect the presence of LA in the blood.
