Not really... Dear Richard:
I wouldn't say they are the same, hence both cannot be correct. To make it simple let's put it this way: If the lupus anticoagulant (or lupus antibody or lupus inhibitor or LA) is found in a pregnant woman who had a miscarriage that doesn't mean they will be diagnosed with Lupus Erythematosus automatically. It is a matter of accuracy and your answer does not say 'lupus antibody' but anti-lupus or antilupic antibodies.
Richard McDorman Jun 12, 2009:
Lupus anticoagulant = Lupus antibody Note to asker: For the record, both answers that have been provided are correct. The term with greatest currency is, I believe, "lupus anticoagulant," but alternate terms (i.e., synonyms) include "lupus antibody," "LA," and "lupus inhibitor."

See, e.g., http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lupus_anticoagulant.

anti-lupus/antilupic antibodies

Patients with SLA and antilupic antibodies may present ulcerations that leave scars with china-like atrophic centers when involute, mimmicking Degos' disease. This latter syndrome is a rare entity, with leality of 50%, and in which antiphospolipid antibodies are negative.
