Historically, the term used has been lupus anti-coagulant, but this is a misnomer since the majority of patients do not have lupus. Though it is an anti-coagulant in vitro, in vivo it is a procoagulant as that same avidity it has for the phospholipid in the coagulation test is also towards the phospholipid-laden endothelial membrane which can possibly lead to vessel wall damage. As such, it makes better sense to use the term anti-phospholipid antibody than lupus anti-coagulant. |
