Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is the name given to a disease which involves the immune system. Normally antibodies are good and they help fight germs or viral infections from outside, however, occasionally the immune system makes the wrong kind - a type that acts against the body itself. These unusual auto-antibodies in APS are detected by a blood test and when they are present make a person more likely to get specific problems. APS makes some people feel tired or can lead to aching joints but others have no symptoms at all. You can't catch it or give it to someone else and it isn't a terminal disease or anything like that. Many people go throughout life without even knowing their body makes these antibodies. Its just that there's more chance of certain problems. Sometimes APS is associated with a disease called systemic lupus erythematosis (SLE). Your doctor will have tested for this. It is only recently that these antibodies were discovered and their significance understood, so the information available is somewhat limited, but more research is being carried out on this all the time. We still don't know exactly how the antibodies bring about the effects described below, although we have some good ideas.

Protein S deficiency The antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, also known as Hughes Syndrome, is a disorder characterized by multiple different antibodies that are associated with both arterial and venous thrombosis (clots). There are three primary classes of antibodies associated with the antiphospholipid antibody syndrome: 1) anticardiolipin antibodies, 2) the lupus anticoagulant and 3) antibodies directed against specific molecules including a molecule known as beta-2-glycoprotein 1. Historically, antiphospholipid antibodies were first noted in patients who had positive tests for syphilis without signs of infection. Subsequently, a clotting disorder was associated with two patients with systemic lupus erythematosus in 1952. In 1957 a link between recurrent pregnancy loss and what is now called the lupus anticoagulant was established. Ultimately, the lupus anticoagulant was further described in 1963 and in 1972 the term lupus anticoagulant was given. In 1983, Dr. Graham Hughes described the association between antiphospholipid antibodies and arterial as well as venous thrombosis. There are two main classifications of the antiphospholipid antibody syndrome. If the patient has an underlying autoimmune disorder, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, the patient is said to have secondary antiphospholipid antibody syndrome. If the patient has no known underlying autoimmune disorder, it is termed primary antiphospholipid antibody syndrome.

Extractions: Under normal circumstances, antibodies are proteins made by your immune system to fight substances recognized as foreign by your body. Some examples of foreign substances are bacteria and viruses. Sometimes the body's own cells are recognized as foreign. In the antiphospholipid antibody syndrome the body recognizes phospholipids (part of a cell's membrane) as foreign and produces antibodies against them. Antibodies to phospholipids (antiphospholipid antibodies) can be found in the blood of some people with lupus, but they are also seen in people without any known illness. Lupus anticoagulant (LAC) and anticardiolipin antibody (ACA) are the two known antiphospholipid antibodies that are associated with recurrent pregnancy loss.

As a result of this clotting tendency these patients may develop repeated clots, eg in the veins of the leg (deep vein thrombosis), or in the arteries supplying the brain, causing a stroke.

Extractions: Home Vascular Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is a disorder characterised by recurrent arterial or venous thrombosis and/or pregnancy losses, in the presence of persistently elevated levels of anticardiolipin antibodies and/or evidence of circulating lupus anticoagulant (these abnormalities are detected by blood tests). Primary APS occurs when there is no evidence of associated diseases. APS in the presence of an underlying disease, usually systemic lupus erythematosus , is called secondary APS. APS occurs more commonly in young to middle-aged adults. However, it has also been found in a child as young as 8 months and in elderly people. Secondary APS appears to be more common in females and is most likely due to the fact that systemic lupus erythematosus and other connective tissue disorders have a female predominance. Younger patients with a history of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism, myocardial infarction, or cerebrovascular accidents (CVA), need to be investigated for APS, particularly if no other risk factors are present.
