New clinical and laboratory finding in anti-phospholipid syndromes
Authors
Abstract:
Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is a systemic autoimmune disease with the appearance of anti-phospholipid antibody (ACLA), Anti β2GPI and lupus anticoagulant (LAC) in serum. The antigen-antibody reaction on cell surface leads to thrombosis, miscarriage and inflammation. Clinical findings are diverse and include thrombosis in veins and arteries, pregnancy loss, thrombocytopenia, neurological and cardiac manifestation. In recent years the mechanism and pathophysiology of antiphospholipid damages has disclosed new insight to this syndrome, and better understanding and interpretation of criteria laboratory tests.

Clinical and laboratory characteristics of drug-induced vasculitic syndromes
Clinical recognition of drug-induced vasculitic and lupus-like syndromes is very important because continued use of the offending drug can lead to irreversible and life-threatening vasculitic organ damage (e.g. end-stage renal disease or pulmonary haemorrhage). Withdrawal of the drug often leads to spontaneous recovery, meaning that immunosuppressive therapy can be avoided. The presence of myel...

Anti-phospholipid syndrome is defined by the combination of clinical thrombosis and detection of persistent anti-phospholipid antibodies (aPL), including lupus anti-coagulant (LA). Those who do not meet full clinical criteria of overt thrombosis but still harbor circulating aPL can be characterized as "anti-phospholipid carriers." Regardless of clinical manifestations, aPL can complicate coagul...
