What is LAC (LUPUS ANTICOAGULANT) DRVVT (dilute Russell viper venom test )?
The LAC DRVVT test looks for lupus anticoagulant antibodies in the blood. These antibodies target parts of the clotting process.

Physical examination provides clues; a test result removes ambiguity and allows targeted, evidence-based management to begin promptly.
What does LAC (LUPUS ANTICOAGULANT) DRVVT (dilute Russell viper venom test ) measure?
