What is the medical term for lupus iga?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lupus anticoagulant: Lupus anticoagulant (LA) are a group of autoimmune antibodies directed against phospholipids in the body. The name is confusing because its name comes from lab tests used to detect it in blood samples since it prevents normal clotting outside of the body. LA actually increases risk for developing blood clots within blood vessels. IgA is one of several types of antibodies -others are IgM, IgG, IgE
