What are the Diagnostic Procedures for Lupus Anticoagulant?
The diagnosis of lupus anticoagulant involves a series of blood tests designed to detect its presence and assess its impact on clotting. Common tests include the Dilute Russell's Viper Venom Time (DRVVT), the Kaolin Clotting Time (KCT), and the Lupus Anticoagulant-Sensitive aPTT. These tests measure the time it takes for blood to clot and help determine the presence of lupus anticoagulant by comparing it with a normal sample.
