title: An improved method for lupus anticoagulant detection.
abstract: The diagnosis of lupus anticoagulant (LA) becomes difficult when there is a weak titer of LA antibodies. This study demonstrates that 20 minutes' incubation increases the sensitivity of the mixing test to diagnose LA by 23% and to suspect the antibodies by 66%.
