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.
