Brief Answer:
Normal values of lupus anticoagulant

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.
I have reviewed the reports and the prescription.
The report shows normal values of lupus anticoagulant. It is done in patients with recurrent miscarriages, intrauterine death of fetus in previous pregnancy, or intrauterine growth restriction of fetus.
The prescription is showing lonopin injection, which is a low molecular weight heparin, and is given in patients with deranged lupus anticoagulant or deranged parameters in antiphospholipid antibody profile.
There is no need of this injection in your friends case, as per the reports.
However, there might be other factors in her history which may have led to this prescription .
Hope you found the answer helpful.
