Description: Lupus Anticoagulant describes an autoimmune disorder in which autoantibodies bind to phospholipids associated with cell membranes which then give rise to Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome. Lupus Anticoagulant is truly a misnomer in the sense that very few patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus develop these autoantibodies which actually induce thrombosis in vivo. Lupus Anticoagulant has also recently been identified as a complication in the treatment of COVID-19 infection.
This session will provide a history of the discovery of Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome, give clarity as to the mechanisms and terminologies of this disorder, and outline the current laboratory methods used for diagnosis.
