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 joint pain in all joints for the past 2 years. All my blood tests are normal, and the painkillers did not work. No doctor has been able to help me with this. I do not have rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, high uric acid, or any issues in hemoglobin or urine tests.

My mom has had fever for the last 12 to 13 days along with severe headache. I consulted a physician who prescribed antibiotics and painkillers. We also did several tests including blood and urine, but nothing abnormal was found. However, after taking the medicines, her fever seems to be getting higher. The doctor is still unable to identify the reason for her fever. What could be the possible cause?

I have been noticing white and red patches on both my palms after carrying bags, which disappear within 4 to 5 minutes. This was not happening 4 to 5 years ago. Could this be related to vitamin deficiency or general weakness? My blood reports, haemoglobin levels, and sugar levels are normal (I have been on diabetes medication for the past 10 years). Please advise
