Different things: The + hal b-27 not related to lupus anticoagulant(la). The la needs to confirmed, especially if you have a history of clinical problems related to the la like blood clots in the legs, emboli to the lung, strokes, misscarriages, etc. Depending on the clinical picture you may need therapy - many only Aspirin for its anticlotting ability or stronger blood thinners.
