A ratio of 1.2 is commonly used, such that a value <1.2 indicates the absence of a lupus anticoagulant, while a value >1.2 indicates the presence of a lupus anticoagulant. [19] Direct oral anticoagulants and vitamin K antagonists used to treat thrombosis can interfere with lupus anticoagulant assays and generate either false-positive or false ...

Anti-cardiolipin antibodies (ACA) are antibodies often directed against cardiolipin and found in several diseases, including syphilis, [1] antiphospholipid syndrome, livedoid vasculitis, vertebrobasilar insufficiency, Behçet's syndrome, [2] idiopathic spontaneous abortion, [3] and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

A subset of AHAA appear to mimic the activity of lupus anticoagulant and increase Apo-H binding to phospholipids. [5] These two activities can be differentiated by the binding to Apo-H domains, whereas binding to the 5th domain promotes that anti-coagulant activity binding to the more N-terminal domains promotes lupus anticoagulant-like activities.
There are three types of antiphospholipid antibodies - anticardiolipin, which can cause a false-positive test for syphilis since anticardiolipin antibodies are also sometimes involved in syphilis, the other two are lupus anticoagulant also known as lupus antibody, and anti-beta2 glycoprotein I.
