Anticoagulants named for this disease can be detected using the kaolin clotting time or dRVTT. This disease is partially diagnosed by looking for a peripheral pattern on a FANA test. Nephritis due to this disease can be diagnosed by the presence of hematoxylin bodies, hyaline thrombi, or "wire loop" lesions. It can cause the growth of wart-like, verrucous vegetations on cardiac valves in (*) Libman-Sacks endocarditis. This disease causes type III hypersensitivity because it deposits immune complexes in the kidneys, skin, and joints, especially.

This disease causes type III hypersensitivity because it deposits immune complexes in the kidneys, skin, and joints, especially. Anti-Smith antibodies and antinuclear antibodies targeting double-stranded DNA are highly suggestive of it.
