Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome
Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2000When the diagnosis of antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (aPS) is being considered in persons who have experienced an ischemic stroke or a transient ischemic attack, it is important to gauge how well the history and laboratory data fit with this diagnosis as opposed to other causes of infarct.

Antiphospholipid antibodies and stroke
Current Cardiology Reports, 2004Antiphospholipid antibodies are associated with venous and arterial thrombo-occlusive events, including stroke. They are a heterogeneous family of antibodies that react to negatively charged membrane-bound phospholipids or phospholipid-protein complexes.

JCR: Journal of Clinical Rheumatology, 1997
Although significant progress has been made during the last decade in our knowledge of the antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL), there are two major questions in clinical practice that require further guidelines: Indications for aPL determination and laboratory tests to choose. This article reviews the main clinical indications to search for aPL (systemic

Antiphospholipid Antibodies in Children
Seminars in Thrombosis and Hemostasis, 1998Lupus anticoagulant (LA) is made up of heterogeneous IgG and IgM antibodies that prolong clotting times in vitro and is associated with an increased rate of both thrombosis and hemorrhage in vivo, although thrombosis is far more common. Many mechanisms of action have been explored, but none explains the coagulation abnormality of every sample tested ...

Antiphospholipid antibodies and reproduction
Journal of Reproductive Immunology, 1997The antiphospholipid antibodies (APA) are acquired antibodies against a phospholipid which has been associated with slow progressive thrombosis and infarction in the placenta. Clinical features (venous or arterial thrombosis, recurrent fetal loss, thrombocytopenia) in conjunction with positive laboratory findings (positive IgG or IgM anticardiolipin ...

Antiphospholipid antibodies and atherosclerosis
Lupus, 1998β2-Glycoprotein I (β2-GPI) is a major antigen for anticardiolipin antibodies (aCL) induced in patients with antiphospholipid syndrome and their antigenic epitopes are cryptic. The epitopes appear on the surface of β2-GPI molecule only when β2-GPI interacts with lipid membranes containing negatively charged phospholipids or polyoxygenated polystyrene ...

Antiphospholipid antibody and antiphospholipid antibody syndrome.
Current opinion in rheumatology, 1992Over the past year, many reports have been published on a variety of clinical manifestations related to antiphospholipid antibodies. The low prevalence of anticardiolipin antibodies with the rare occurrence of thrombosis and a low rate of fetal loss in studies in Malaysia and China showed a potential role for local factors.

Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndromes
Rheumatic Disease Clinics of North America, 1989There is no doubt that in some individuals the presence of antibodies to negatively charged phospholipids currently measured as the lupus anticoagulant, a biologically false positive VDRL, and anticardiolipin antibodies is associated with certain clinical features, in particular, a predisposition to both arterial and venous thrombosis and, in women, to

Platelets and Antiphospholipid Antibodies
Lupus, 1996The involvement of platelets in the antiphospholipid syndrome is complex and the full pathogenic significance is not fully understood. The binding of aPL antibodies to the platelet membrane may result in the thrombopenia and further haemostatic activation.

Antiphospholipid antibodies and thrombosis
Thrombosis Research, 2012Antiphospholipid syndrome is an autoimmune disease which combines vascular thrombosis and/or pregnancy complications with the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies. It could be a devastating and sometimes life-threatening condition. As vascular thrombosis presents as typical venous or arterial thromboembolism diagnosis is based on laboratory data ...
