Abstract:
Antiphospholipid 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. Therefore proper performance and interpretation of laboratory tests is crucial. Broader knowledge about clinical and laboratory aspects of the syndrome and their associations are essential for proper evaluation and management of the patients.
