Lupus Anticoagulants LAC Profile Test in Pune

What Does a Lupus Anticoagulant (LAC) Test Measure in Pune?

This test assesses the function of your blood’s clotting system by analysing several components:

• aPTT (Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time): Checks how long it takes for your blood to clot.
• aPTT Mixing Studies: Determines whether prolonged clotting is caused by an antibody (like LAC) or a clotting factor deficiency.
• DRVVT (Dilute Russell Viper Venom Test): Confirms the presence of lupus anticoagulant by comparing clotting times before and after adding phospholipids.
• Normalized Ratio: A ratio >1.2 suggests lupus anticoagulant activity.

Together, these results help doctors assess the presence of abnormal antiphospholipid antibodies that may increase clotting risk.

You may need this test if you have:

• Unexplained blood clots (deep vein thrombosis, stroke, or pulmonary embolism)
• Recurrent miscarriages or stillbirths
• Autoimmune symptoms like joint pain, rashes, or fatigue
• Abnormal results in other clotting tests (e.g., prolonged aPTT)
• A history of Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS) or Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)

Why is a Lupus Anticoagulant (LAC) Test Done?

• Diagnose or confirm Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS)
