Lupus anticoagulant refers to a type of antiphospholipid antibody found in the blood of some people with lupus. Despite its name, it increases the risk of blood clots rather than preventing them. About half of people with lupus have these antibodies, which can lead to dangerous clots in blood vessels (thromboses). Treatments like anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin or heparin) are often used to manage this risk.
