If a person has the lupus anticoagulant or anticardiolipin antibody, but has never had a thrombotic complication, treatment is not currently recommended. If a patient has had a thrombotic complication and has these antibodies, treatment may depend on where the clot (thrombosis) occurred. In general, treatment consists of “thinning” the blood to prevent future clots, using either aspirin or warfarin (Coumadin).
