Lupus Anticoagulant is a term used to
describe the presence of some antibodies
in the blood that interfere with blood
clotting. There really is no "normal
range" for lupus anticoagulant - either
lupus anticoagulant is present or it is
not. Based on a number of factors, you
may be experiencing miscarriages that are
related to other lupus disorders. You
might request additional laboratory tests
to determine if any abnormalities exist.
