Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome
摘要
Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is a systemic autoimmune disease that is characterized by arterial or venous thrombosis. It is also associated with pregnancy loss in the presence of persistent expression of antiphospholipid (aPL) antibodies. There are three main types of aPL antibodies: Lupus anticoagulant (LA), anticardiolipin (aCL) antibodies, and anti-beta-2-glycoprotein 1 antibodies (aB2GP1).
