Sir/Madam, I had tested for lupus anticoagulant but am unable to understand the report. Please help so that I can proceed.

The Lupus Anticoagulant test is used to detect clotting related issues often linked with autoimmune disorders. If your report is hard to understand, look for words like positive, negative, dRVVT, or aPTT. A positive result doesnt confirm lupus by itself. Its best to repeat the test and also consider an ANA Profile to check for autoimmune activity. Dont worry many people test borderline and require follow up only.
Dr. Ezhilarasan Suggests...
Take a ANTI NUCLEAR ANTIBODY (ANA) Test or Take a APTT Test (Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time) Test

View allI have had two miscarriages, one at 14 weeks and another at 12 weeks. My doctor advised me to do some tests, including APLAS, ELISA, EIA, IgM, and IgG. I have received my reports, but I am not sure how to read them. Please help me understand whether my reports are negative or positive.

I have pain in my body from neck to hip joints and shoulders after sitting a few minutes, and sometimes I also get headaches. I underwent treatment and my blood report shows abnormal results: total WBC count is 12,700 cells per cumm, ESR is 52 mm per h, and RA factor is 4.8 IU per ml. My doctor prescribed medicine without explaining the report. Can anyone please explain my report? Is there anything serious in my blood report? Are these symptoms of cancer? Please answer and suggest what is better for me.

Last week, 1.5 liters of fluid was removed from the space between my lungs. Since then, I have been experiencing rapid weight loss, loss of appetite, bitterness in the mouth, constant fatigue, and a persistent cough. All lab reports have come back normal, and TB has been ruled out, but the doctors have not been able to give a clear diagnosis yet. I am very concerned and would appreciate it if you could review the situation and let me know if there is anything more we should do
