Lupus anticoagulants (LA) are autoantibodies produced by the immune system that bind to the phospholipids and the proteins associated with the outer-most layer of cells (cell membranes). Lupus anticoagulants interfere with the blood clotting process which may increase an individual's risk of developing a blood clot. Lupus anticoagulant testing is a series of tests used to investigate the presence of lupus anticoagulants in the blood.
