NCIt definition : A hypercoaguable state that results from the presence of the immunoglobulin known
as Lupus Anticoagulant. The antibody interacts with cell membrane phospholipids, causing
increased aggregation and adhesion of platelets, which causes increased clot formation.
Though the majority of patients who test positive for lupus anticoagulant do not have
lupus, those individuals afflicted with lupus have a higher probability of developing
the antibody.;
