    Extractions: Summary: Research study for Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome (APS). Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS) is a medical problem that is associated with health risks for the pregnant mother and her baby. The University of Chicago and Dr. Mary Stephenson are conducting a clinical study to further clarify the best doses of heparin that are advisable for use in treating this problem in pregnancy. While heparin has been shown to improve pregnancy success in women with APS, there has been limited research on how heparins are handled by the body during pregnancy. The evaluation of the body’s handling of a drug is called pharmacokinetics. Participants will be allowed to choose whether they wish to be treated with unfractionated heparin (UFH) or low molecular weight heparin (LMWH). The only study procedure beyond the care that is routinely provided includes 12-13 hour visits to the University of Chicago’s General Clinical Research Center once prior to pregnancy, once during each trimester and once after delivery. During these study visits, a small amount of blood will be drawn at specific times to measure the effect of the heparin over time. Dr. Stephenson and her research staff will monitor the pregnancy closely during the first trimester. The patient will then be transferred back to the referring physician for the remainder of the pregnancy.

    Extractions: Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS): Laboratory Evaluation APS is a risk factor for arterial and/or venous thromboembolic disease and pregnancy morbidity (recurrent fetal loss, severe preeclampsia, and eclampsia). APS may be present in 12-30% of cases of systemic lupus erythematosus. The diagnostic criteria for APS were defined an international consensus conference (Sapporo, 1998). The laboratory criteria for APS are repeatable positive tests at moderate to high levels at least six weeks apart for either: Cardiolipin Antibody, IgG and IgM,Serum Cardiolipin Antibody, IgG,Serum Cardiolipin Antibody, IgM, Serum Lupus Anticoagulant, Citrated Whole Blood Although there is often concordance between ACL and LA, this is not always present. The rationale for requiring repeatable positive tests is to avoid potential false positives secondary to infectious disease since ACL may be induced by a variety of infectious agents, most notably syphilis. Infection-induced ACL are not associated with APS. They are directed at phospholipids alone while APS-associated ACL are also directed at the phospholipid binding protein called Beta-2-Glycoprotein I (B-2-GPI). For this reason, reagents for ACL testing include a source of B-2-GPI. Beta-2 Glycoprotein I Antibodies, IgG and IgM, Serum

Review the puzzling pathophysiology and learn what you can do to help your patient ward off complications. By Richard L. Pullen, Jr., RN, EDD; Jan Cannon, RN, MSN; and Jill Rushing, RN, MSN Fighting fat isn't always a good thing, especially when phospholipid, a fat molecule in cell membranes, is under attack. Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune disorder that occurs when the immune system recognizes phospholipid as foreign and produces abnormal antibodies that react with it. Someone with APS can develop life-threatening complications in any organ. The diagnosis of APS is based on clinical signs and the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies in the patient's blood. The mnemonic CLOT summarizes the most common signs:

    Extractions: Save a personal copy of this article and quickly find it again with Furl.net. It's free! Save it. The term "antiphospholipid syndrome" originally described the clinical association between antiphospholipid antibodies and a syndrome of hypercoagulability. The criteria for diagnosis of antiphospholipid syndrome and the terminology of the disease have evolved over the years as the relevant pathophysiology and immunology have become better understood. Levine and colleagues discuss antiphospholipid syndrome, an uncommon (but not rare) disease with serious risks of arterial and venous thrombosis as well as recurrent pregnancy loss. The most recent international consensus criteria for diagnosing antiphospholipid syndrome require the presence of a clinical and a laboratory marker of the syndrome before a definitive diagnosis can be made. The most sensitive laboratory test for antiphospholipid syndrome is the presence of anticardiolipin antibodies; however, lupus anticoagulant is a more specific sign. In large studies, as many as 5 percent of healthy control subjects have at least one of the autoantibodies associated with antiphospholipid syndrome. Most of these persons never develop any thrombotic or obstetric complications. Anti-b2-glycoprotein I autoantibodies are another class of autoantibodies strongly associated with the syndrome, but they are not presently included in the consensus criteria.

Rand Abstract Acquired abnormalities in platelets, endothelium, and their interaction occur in sepsis, immune heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT), and the antiphospholipid syndrome. Although of distinct pathogeneses, these three disorders have several clinical features in common, including thrombocytopenia and the potential for life- and limb-threatening thrombotic events, ranging from microvascular arterial. In Section I, Dr. William Aird reviews basic aspects of endothelial-platelet interactions as a springboard to considering the common problem of thrombocytopenia (and its mechanism) in sepsis.

    Extractions: Antiphospholipid syndrome is a hypercoaguable state characterized by recurrent venous and/or arterial thrombosis and/or pregnancy complications of fetal loss, pre-eclampsia, or eclampsia in the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies. It was first described in the setting of systemic lupus erythematosus and subsequently recognized to also exist as an independent condition and in conjunction with a variety of other autoimmune, infectious, and malignant illnesses. These diseases have been called primary antiphospholipid syndrome and secondary antiphospholipid syndrome. However, the two conditions can have significant overlapping features. This paper reviews the similarities and the differences between the two conditions.

    Extractions: Letters ... PubMed Citation Antiphospholipid antibodies are a family of autoantibodies that exhibit a broad range of target specificities and affinities, all recognizing various combinations of phospholipids, phospholipid-binding proteins, or both. The term "antiphospholipid syndrome" was first coined to denote the clinical association between antiphospholipid antibodies and a syndrome of hypercoagulability. Revision of the criteria for diagnosis of the antiphospholipid syndrome and the terminology used to describe the disease is an ongoing process (Table 1). View this table:

    Extractions: SLE and Lupus-Nephritis (Nieren Hochdruckkrh 1995 (24) 666 - 667). The cause of SLE is unclear. Twin studies showed a genetical influence on the pathogenesis of the disease. Rare defects of several complement components leading ton a prolonged clearance of immune complexes can cause SLE-like syndromes. Fcgamma receptors, that also participate in the clearance of immune complexes, may play a role in the pathogenesis of SLE. The rate of CD32-"high responders" is increased among SLE patients. The Fcgamma receptor III (CD16) is expressed on activated mesangial cells of the kidney. It mediates release of cytokines after binding of immune complexes and may therefore participate to the pathogenesis of lupus nephritis. A recently published family study on the pathogenesis of lupus could mark HLA-B7-DR2 and HLA-B8-DR3 as risk haplotypes, however, no "SLE gene" was defined. Keywords: SLE - lupus - pathogenesis - Fc receptors. (Nieren Hochdruckkrh 1995 (24) 668 - 671). Involvement of joints in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is one of the earliest and most frequent manifestations of the disease. This has been shown by retrospective analysis of 71 consecutive SLE patients at our institution where 61 % or 78 % of the patients presented with arthritis at onset or during the course of the disease. respectively. These figures correspond quite well with similar studies reported in the literature.

If only coagulation tests are being drawn, draw 5 mL into another tube, discard, and then collect coagulation tests. This collection procedure eliminates contamination of the specimen with tissue thromboplastins and cross-contamination from additives such as heparin and EDTA. Collect nine parts whole blood to one part 3.2% sodium citrate using plastic collection material, or draw one blue-stopper (sodium citrate) tube until the vacuum is depleted to ensure a 9:1 ratio. Centrifuge immediately at 3500 rpm for 15 minutes. Carefully remove the plasma, aliquot 2 mL of plasma into a plastic transport tube, and freeze immediately. If hematocrit (Hct) is >55%, use the following formula to calculate the volume of anticoagulant required for 5 mL of anticoagulated blood: X = (100-Hct) / (595-Hct). X is the volume of anticoagulant required to prepare unit volume of anticoagulated blood. Carefully remove the plasma from cells without disturbing the cells. To avoid delays in turnaround time when requesting multiple tests on frozen samples, please submit separate frozen specimens for each test requested.
