Definitie voor antiphospholipid antilichaam syndroom

Antiphospholipid syndrome (or antiphospholipid antibody syndrome) (APS) is a disorder of coagulation, which causes blood clots (thrombosis) in both arteries and veins, as well as pregnancy-related complications such as miscarriage, preterm delivery, or severe preeclampsia. meer

Antiphospholipid syndrome (or antiphospholipid antibody syndrome) (APS) is a disorder of coagulation, which causes blood clots (thrombosis) in both arteries and veins, as well as pregnancy-related complications such as miscarriage, preterm delivery, or severe preeclampsia. The syndrome occurs due to the autoimmune production of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL). The name Antiphospholipid Syndrome is a misnomer because the target antigen of aPL is not phospholipids but actually plasma proteins that bind to phopholipids (eg: [[β2-glycoprotein 1]] or prothrombin). less
