1. because you are interested in first question, probable significance is:
. since your ANA titre was high (probably goes in favour of SLE), and in past tested positive for Sjogren/anticardiolipids, thus in this test:
. recombinant thromboplastin is used to develop an automated LR (lupus ratio) test based on the dilute prothrombin time (dPT) and is helpful in classification of plasma as LA negative or LA positive. [it ranges from 1.21 to 1.61]
