Can blood work result in a false positive result for lupus anticoagulant factor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Positive is positive. However, it is the degree of positivity that is clinically important. Low positive values are generally not clinically important.

Lupus anticoagulant Eval. The ref range is <45sec. Does the result matter if its over 45? For example, is a result of 51 more indicative of an issue than 46? If the LA screen and DRVVT screen is high and confirm is - what factors should be checked?
