The Lupus Anticoagulant Evaluation with Reflex is a blood test that checks for antibodies linked to unusual blood clots. It is also called a lupus anticoagulant panel, LA panel, or antiphospholipid antibody screen. You can book at participating labs on LabFinder and pick a time that suits you.
This test, sometimes listed as dRVVT with reflex or hexagonal phospholipid neutralization, looks for lupus anticoagulant antibodies in your blood. If the screen suggests an issue, the lab runs extra reflex steps to confirm. The results help your doctor learn if an antibody is raising your risk for clots.
Common reasons: a blood clot at a young age, clots that happen more than once, or clots in unusual places. Pregnancy history: past miscarriages or other pregnancy losses. Unusual labs: a prolonged aPTT without a clear cause. Autoimmune care: part of an evaluation when lupus or a related condition is suspected.
Bring your photo ID and lab order. A technician cleans a spot on your arm and draws a few small tubes of blood. You may feel a quick pinch, then a bandage is placed. Plan for about 15 to 30 minutes at the lab.
Yes, this is a quick, routine blood draw and is considered very safe. You might feel a quick pinch, notice a small bruise, or feel a little lightheaded for a moment afterward, but those effects usually fade quickly. Be sure to tell the staff if you take blood thinners, have a bleeding disorder, or if you have fainted during blood draws before. They will take extra care to keep you comfortable. Blood thinners and very recent clots can affect this test, so timing is important.
Medications: bring a full list, including any blood thinners or hormones, and follow your doctor’s timing advice. No special diet: fasting is not usually needed. Recent events: tell the team about any new clot, surgery, or infection, since testing may be delayed. Hydration: drink water so the draw is easier. Always follow instructions from your doctor or the testing center and bring prior results if you have them.
This test can be part of checking deep vein clots in the leg, lung clots, stroke at a young age, repeated pregnancy loss, unexplained prolonged aPTT, and autoimmune conditions such as lupus. Results must be interpreted in context. Your doctor will review your results along with your history and symptoms before recommending any next steps.
