Journal Title: International Journal of Allied Medical Sciences and Clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
An increasingly important link between antiphospholipid antibodies and a clinical syndrome is becoming recognized worldwide. This syndrome, known as the APS or Sticky blood Syndrome, is a prothrombic disorder leading to both arterial and venous thrombosis and in pregnancy, recurrent abortion and pregnancy loss antiphospholipid syndrome is one of the most cost common acquired causes of hypercoagulability. The most common plasma protein target is beta 2 glycoprotein1. The three most important antiphospholipid antibodies are the lupus coagulant, anticardiolipin and beta 2 glycoprotein1. Unfortunately, it is a disease that is often under recognized and under diagnosed. This is probably because it can cause so many different problems many of which have other common causes. Early diagnosis is important to try to prevent serious complications.
