Prevalence and Clinical Associations of Lupus Anticoagulant, Anticardiolipin Antibodies, and Anti-beta2-glycoprotein I Antibodies in Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Abstract

LAC was the most common antibody detected in Korean SLE patients and is shown to have a significant association with the presence of venous/arterial thrombosis. The measurement of LAC may be clinically useful in identifying patients with SLE who are at a high risk for venous/arterial thrombosis.
