Doruk Erkan, MD

Division of Rheumatology Hospital for Special Surgery, Weill Medical College of Cornell University New York, NY Summary Points
  • Antiphospholipid syndrome is characterized by the presence of venous and/or arterial thrombosis and/or pregnancy morbidity and the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies. Long-term anticoagulation is recommended for antiphospholipid syndrome patients with recurrent vascular events. For antiphospholipid syndrome patients with recurrent pregnancy events, aspirin plus heparin is recommended during pregnancy.
Introduction Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is characterized by vascular thrombosis and/or pregnancy morbidity in the presence of circulating antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL), most commonly anticardiolipin antibodies (aCL), and a positive lupus-anticoagulant test (LAC) (

        Antiphospholipid Syndrome (aPL)
        What is antiphospholipid syndrome (aPL)?
        Antiphospholipid syndrome is an autoimmune disease in which the body produces large amounts of antiphospholipid antibodies. Phospholipids are a special type of fat containing phosphate that makes up the outer walls of the body's cells. Antiphospholipid antibodies attack the phospholipids. This causes many different problems including increased blood clotting. Cardiolipin is one type of phospholipid and specific anticardiolipin antibodies may develop. This disease is about two times more common in women than men. It is generally characterized by the following:

What is the cause of the antiphospholipid syndrome?
What types of antiphospholipid syndrome exist?

When only the symptoms of the antiphospholipid syndrome occur, this is known as primary antiphospholipid syndrome. The secondary form occurs in association with another autoimmune disease, usually systemic lupus erythematosus. Both types are more common in women. What are the symptoms of antiphospholipid syndrome?
The symptoms relate to abnormal clotting. Most commonly clots can develop in the veins of the legs (deep vein thrombosis), resulting in a swollen, painful leg, with the swelling usually starting in the calf. These clots in the leg may happen once, or several times. Clots may also occur in the lung (pulmonary embolus), sometimes following a clot in the leg, which breaks off and travels in the circulation until it lodges in part of the blood supply to the lung. A clot in the lung may lead to shortness of breath, chest pain made worse by breathing in, or coughing up a small amount of blood. Some clots occur in patients soon after starting on the oral contraceptive pill (oestrogen-containing types).

Patients with these antibodies may experience miscarriages and blood clotting disorders, including heart attacks and strokes. APS may occur in people with systemic lupus erythematosus and other autoimmune diseases, or in otherwise healthy individuals. The Antiphospholipid Syndrome Collaborative Registry (APSCORE) is a national registry and tissue repository for patients with APS. This registry will collect clinical information and blood samples from people with APS.

Antiphospholipid syndrome
Synonyms: APS, Lupus anticoagulant, Hughes' syndrome, sticky blood The antiphospholipid syndrome is a disorder with recurrent arterial and venous thrombosis, pregnancy loss and possibly thrombocytopenia . There is lupus anticoagulant (LA), moderate to high levels of anticardiolipin (aCL) or both. It is called primary if there is no clinical or serological evidence of autoimmune disorders. In patients with recognised autoimmune disorders, usually systemic lupus erythematosus, it is called secondary. There is remarkably little clinical or biochemical difference between the two except that those with secondary disease are more likely to have endocarditis, valve disease and haemolytic anaemia Despite the lupus anticoagulant and thrombocytopenia the risk is of thrombosis rather than haemorrhage. Epidemiology
Incidence
In SLE 35 to 40% have anti-phospholipid antibodies (aPL) but they are found in 1-5% of the healthy population. Anti-cardiolipin antibodies (aCL) occur more frequently in the elderly.

Scientific Services The antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) was first described in the early 1950s in women who were noted to have prolonged bleeding times that were not correctable by addition of normal plasma, history of hypercoagulability, false-positive VDRL, and a history of recurrent pregnancy loss. The lupus anticoagluant and the anticardiolipin antibody were characterized as acquired antibodies. Clinical and serologic criteria for the classification of APS have been proposed on the basis of a study of 667 SLE patients: Classification of Antiphospholipid Syndrome Clinical manifestations:
  • Vascular thrombosis (one or more clinical episodes of arterial, venous, or small vessel thrombosis)
  • Pregnancy morbidity (one or more unexplained deaths of a morphologically normal fetus at or beyond the 10th week of gestation / one or more premature births at or before the 34th week of gestation / three or more unexplained consecutive spontaneous abortion before the 10th week of gestation)
  • Laboratory criteria:
  • Anticardiolipin antibodies (IgG and/or IgM)
  • Lupus anticoagulant
  • Definite antiphospholipid antibody syndrome is considered to be present if at least 1 of the clinical criteria and 1 of the laboratory criteria are met.

    Definition
    There is as yet no agreed definition of APS but the consensus opinion seems to be that the following are required, although they need not be present simultaneously:
    • recurrent thromboembolic events recurrent fetal loss livedo reticularis high titre sustained IgG anticardiolipin antibody or lupus anticoagulant with abnormal PTT . (NB a number of infections can induce anti-phospholipid antibodies eg syphilis, Lyme disease, HIV-1)
    Clinical syndromes
    Arterial occlusion syndromes
    • arterial occlusion occurs as discrete episodes usually occurs in single rather than multiple vessels can affect any size of vessel in individual patients the size of vessel and the body area affected is usually consistent from episode to episode eg patients who have had a stroke tend to have recurrent strokes no recognised triggers
    Brain
    • recurrence rate almost 20% per year small vessel occlusion leading to confusion
    Kidney
    • modest proteinuria most common clinical manifestation hypertension haematuria and hypocomplementaemia not features renal insufficiency
    Catastrophic occlusion syndrome
    • rare multiple widespread infarctions over days to weeks may be precipitated by viral infection or allergic reaction leukocytosis

    Antiphospholipid Syndrome
    Timothy P. Collins, MD The lupus anticoagulants, anticardiolipin antibodies and anti-beta2 glycoprotein I antibodies are autoimmune antibodies against phospholipids or plasma proteins bound to anionic phospholipids and comprise a clinical paradox of thromboembolic disease called the antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). Classically, it is a reflex lab test ordered as a part of any hypercoagulable work-up. In this review, I hope to simplify this complex autoimmune phenomenon to the basic epidemiology, clinical manifestations, treatment and the diagnostic criteria as recently proposed by the International Consensus and American College of Hematology. It has been reported that antiphospholipid antibodies are found among young, apparently healthy individuals at a prevalence of 1 to 5% for both anticardiolipin antibodies and the lupus anticoagulant (Petri et al.). As with other autoimmune phenomenon, the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies increases with age and with coexistent chronic disease. Not surprisingly, the prevalence of antiphospholipid antibodies is considerably higher in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) (Avcin et al.).

The reasons “they don't write about men are, I think, basically two: 1) thoughtlessness on the part of my colleagues and myself, and 2) there is not a whole lot to say. For the first, I apologize. Sexism, it seems, works in both directions. For the second, most of what is known about male-female differences in lupus or in antiphospholipid syndrome is fairly soft and not very dramatic information. Only about 10% of lupus patients are men, although the figure may be higher for antiphospholipid syndrome. Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome consists of recurrent blood clots (such as strokes, or clots in the veins of the legs) and, in women, recurrent miscarriages, associated with anticardiolipin antibody or lupus anticoagulant. (Together these antibodies are called antiphospholipid antibodies.) The syndrome can occur either by itself (primary) or in patients with lupus (secondary). About one-third of patients with lupus have the antibody, but only one-tenth to one-fifth have the syndrome.
