Is a Lupus Anticoagulant Panel valid if done 12 days after a PE?

Posted by babysurf @babysurf, Feb 23 6:26pm

I’m a 22 year old and had a double pulmonary embolism in Jan 2026. I was ordered to do blood work and did so 12 days later. I’m was also on Day 10 of the eloquis starter pack. Does anyone know if my results are valid? Did I mess up by doing them too soon? Or are they considered valid?

This is a question for your physician who ordered the test.
The experts on eliquis and anticoagulation and testing are hematologists,
cardiologists and pulmonary specialists.

I agree with the other commenter, do talk to your providers about it. I can also say from first hand knowledge that it's a possibility they will need to repeat the blood tests again in a month or two. I went thru this exact situation in September 2012. My blood test results have a disclaimer on them about this tho.
