Higher lupus anticoagulant can be seen in normal people, people taking certain medications, people suffering from autoimmune diseases, etc. Drug-induced cases are generally recommended to stop or switch to other drugs, while autoimmune diseases are generally treated with medication, and individualized treatment is required according to the condition.
1. Normal people: 1%~5% of the normal population may be positive for the antibody. If there are no clinical symptoms and no thrombus, no drug treatment can be given for the time being, but regular review of anticoagulant indexes and improvement of antinuclear antibody spectrum testing are needed to screen for autoimmune diseases.
2. Taking certain medications: Lupus anticoagulants can be high in elderly people taking drugs such as isoniazid and promethazine, and the first principle of this kind of treatment is to stop the drugs. Anti-coagulants such as warfarin, heparin and dabigatran may also show high values of lupus anticoagulant, but this may be a false-positive result, and it is necessary to stop using the drug and review the test again to see if it is a true positive.
3. Autoimmune diseases: If you suffer from SLE, dry syndrome and other diseases and find that your anticoagulant is elevated, you can be treated with hormones such as prednisone acetate and anticoagulants such as aspirin under the guidance of your doctor.
Since the causes of lupus anticoagulant increase are complex, if you find lupus anticoagulant high, you need to consult a doctor in time to clarify the causes and carry out individualized treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
