Some lupus patients have clotting disorders. They can be detected by a blood test. Unless a doctor knows the patient has lupus and suspects a clotting disorder, they will not test for it. The clotting disorders include antiphospholipid antibodies, lupus anticoagulant and anticardiolipin.

Women with these disorders can have children. The pregnancies are considered high risk and need to be monitored by an obstetrician who handles high risk pregnancies in conjunction with her rheumatologist. Source(s): www.lupus.org
