What is antiphospholipid antibody syndrome

summary

Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (aplas) is a serious disease, which is more common in lupus erythematosus. Its main clinical manifestations are recurrent intravascular thrombosis, spontaneous abortion, thrombocytopenia, and laboratory tests with positive anticoagulant factors and antithrombotic antibodies. What is antiphospholipid antibody syndrome? Let me talk about it.

What is antiphospholipid antibody syndrome

First: Children's antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, more common in women, the onset age is generally eight months to 16 years old, most children are prone to recurrent thrombosis, but young children are more likely to form arterial thrombosis than the elderly, in which cerebral artery thrombosis is more common.

Second: complications of antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, 10% - 15% of systemic lupus erythematosus patients with antiphospholipid antibody syndrome. If the lower extremity artery is blocked, intermittent claudication or gangrene can occur. Central nervous system involvement, can also have cerebral venous sinus, thrombosis, chorea, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis dementia.

Third: about 36% of primary antiphospholipid antibody syndrome and 48% of antiphospholipid antibody syndrome with systemic lupus erythematosus have heart valve disease. There are also occasional reports of small intestinal infarction and hemorrhagic microangiopathy pancreatitis. These are the complications of antiphospholipid antibody syndrome.

matters needing attention

Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome must be diagnosed and treated in early stage. We should keep regular life, be in a good mood, exercise our body and cooperate with treatment actively. Usually appropriate oral anticoagulants have less risk of recurrent thrombosis.
