Q. What are the common signs of Lupus anticoagulants?
Q. What is a negative lupus anticoagulant means?
Your immune system produces antibodies known as Lupus Anticoagulants (LA). Lupus, also called systemic lupus erythematosus, is an autoimmune disease where the immune system mistakenly attacks your immune system and causes inflammation. Sometimes, they attack certain components of the body’s cells. They attack phospholipid proteins found in the outermost layer of cells.
Doctors recommend the lupus anticoagulant DRVVT test, which stands for Dilute Russell Viper Venom Test. This sensitive test uses reagents containing low levels of phospholipids to detect this abnormality and understand its cause.
Abnormal antibodies represent an increased risk of blood clots. Initially, the testing involves DRVVT or PTT-LA. The DRVVT blood test measures the time it takes plasma to clot. If they suggest the lupus anticoagulant DRVVT screen test, avail yourself of it from Redcliffe Labs. We have 3600+ tests available at an affordable price. The lupus anticoagulant DRVVT test cost is INR 1900. Redcliffe Labs offers an at-home sample collection service with on-time delivery.

Despite its name, the test is not for Lupus. The DRVVT blood test finds which antibodies or proteins are causing a blood clot. Antibodies are proteins in your immune system that fight against viruses and bacteria. The Lupus Anticoagulant DRVVT screen test aims to investigate the cause of blood clots. The test also evaluates the prolonged partial thromboplastin time (PTT) and determines the cause of recurrent miscarriages. The test helps in detecting if the health condition is temporary or permanent.
It is a test used to detect LA in the blood. LA is an autoantibody linked with the formation of excessive blood clots. Doctors might recommend the Lupus Anticoagulant DRVVT blood test to determine the following:
Healthcare providers consider the DRVVT screen test with other blood clot tests to detect and confirm LA and exclude their presence.
Doctors called it lupus anticoagulant when blood samples in an individual with lupus didn't clot within a specific time. However, it is not the only time when lupus patients can have antibodies. Lupus anticoagulants belong to anti-phospholipids (group of antibodies). These antibodies can react with phospholipids or fat molecules, which can affect the functionality of cells. The lupus anticoagulant can cause:
Blood clots in the lungs or heart area can cause:
Blood clots in the kidney or stomach can cause:
Blood clotting in the arm or leg can lead to:
Certain major causes include:
50% of people with Lupus will have lupus anticoagulant antibodies. However, people who don’t have lupus can also have antibodies, but the percentage is just 2% to 4%. Lupus anticoagulant is common in older adults and women, especially pregnant women. The doctor would recommend the DRVVT screen test to check the cause of blood clots. Other reasons include:
The DRVVT test is a blood test. It does not require major preparation. However, to ensure a smooth procedure and correct reports, incorporate these guidelines into your daily routine.
The Lupus Anticoagulant (LA) DRVVT screen test requires a blood sample. The test can take place in a hospital or at home. Redcliffe Labs offers an on-home sample collection service at INR 1900. The test procedure involves a blood sample, transportation, screening, testing, and results. Our phlebotomists will follow this procedure:
The DRVVT screen test has no or minor risks. Here are certain risks of the lupus anticoagulant DRVVT Test:
The Lupus Anticoagulant DRVVT blood test gives accurate results. However, a doctor might recommend other tests to have clarifying results. These tests include:
The Lupus Anticoagulant Dilute Russell's Viper Venom Test is a laboratory test. It can detect LA’s presence (an antibody associated with an increased risk of blood clotting). Here's a breakdown of what the results might indicate:
Interpretation of Results:
The DRVVT screen test should yield a result within the normal range, indicating LA's absence. Researchers commonly use a ratio to report results by comparing the test sample to a control. Typically, the normal ratio is <1.20. Any ratio outside the normal range indicates LA's absence or undetectable presence in the test results.
If the DRVVT result shows a longer-than-normal clotting time, it suggests the presence of LA. There are fewer chances of blood clotting here.
A positive DRVVT may need to be confirmed with additional tests, such as the LA mixing study or other assays. It assists in ruling out the presence of other clotting disorders or anticoagulants.
Is Any Further Assessment Required?
The treatment of Lupus Anticoagulant depends on several factors, including the risk of clotting, overall health, and under-prevailing symptoms of APS. A doctor is the best one to guide you with the right treatment. However, here is a general overview of what treatment you can manage:
Management of Associated Conditions:
If the lupus anticoagulant is part of a broader autoimmune condition, manage it with the appropriate medications and therapies.
Pregnancy Management:
Conceived or convincing women often require special management for LA. It includes the use of anticoagulants to reduce the risk of pregnancy-related complications, including miscarriages or preeclampsia.
