The routine use of rituximab cannot be recommended as the single series published to date interestingly reported no reduction in
antiphospholipid antibody titer and only improvement in some but not all non-criteria manifestations of APS.
Serum
antiphospholipid antibody levels in pseudoexfoliation.
This disorder is an autoimmune disorder that manifests itself in vascular events or adverse pregnancy outcome in addition to the presence of
antiphospholipid antibody. The diagnosis is made with the presence of one or more clinical scenarios and the presence of antibodies when the patient is tested on two occasions, at least 12 weeks apart.
Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome panel was negative i.e.
This study is part of a larger project, the PROMISSE (Predictors of Pregnancy Outcome: Biomarkers in
Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus) study "We also felt that this would be a huge opportunity to evaluate patients, whom we [rheumatologists] would normally advise not to get pregnant," she said.
Until now, the obstetrician reporting 649.3x (Coagulation defects complicating pregnancy, childbirth, or the puerperium), had only two secondary code options to further describe the patient's condition: 795.79, used to report a finding of
antiphospholipid antibody in a blood specimen, and 289.81,
antiphospholipid antibody with hypercoagulable state.
The
antiphospholipid antibody syndrome: a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.
In the study, Salmon and colleagues focused on women with systemic lupus erythematosus and
antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, which are autoimmune diseases.
There she was diagnosed with
antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, which can be an inherited condition and causes women's blood to thicken during pregnancy.
The other independent predictors of a first cardiovascular event were the presence of any positive
antiphospholipid antibody test, which conferred a 4.23-fold increased risk; an elevated von Willebrand factor level, associated with a 1.97-fold risk; and the presence of thrombocytopenia, which was a protective factor associated with a 65% reduction in the risk of a cardiovascular event, Dr.
