Anti-phospholipid Ab: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Having said that, there is a specific for "lupus anticoagulant", i.e., antibody to phospholipid. See this site for more info. http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/health-topics/topics/aps/diagnosis
