Lupus Anticoagulant Screen (PTT-LA Method)

The Lupus Anticoagulant Screen, conducted using the PTT-LA (Partial Thromboplastin Time - Lupus Anticoagulant) Method, detects lupus anticoagulants, antibodies linked to increased blood clotting in antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). These antibodies, associated with lupus initially, don't always indicate lupus but can appear in other autoimmune conditions, infections, cancers, and specific medications.

If the Lupus Anticoagulant Screen is positive, it indicates the likely presence of these antibodies, while a negative result suggests their absence. In cases of a positive result, further evaluation often involves reflex confirmation tests to ascertain accuracy. The Lupus Anticoagulant Screen ratio helps assess the coagulation process, aiding in diagnosing and managing conditions related to increased clotting risks.

The origin of the name "Lupus anticoagulants" can be traced back to their initial discovery in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Nevertheless, it is worth noting that the majority of individuals with lupus anticoagulants do not suffer from SLE.
