EULAR Treatment Recommendations for the Blood Clotting Disorder APS
|
The European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) has prepared the first set of treatment guidelines for antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), a rare systemic autoimmune disorder associated with blood clots that can be life-threatening. Sometimes known as Hughes syndrome, there is little research on the condition and little agreement on its clinical criteria. As a result, treatment approaches may differ from doctor to doctor. APS can lead to stroke, heart attack, kidney damage, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, recurrent early miscarriages, premature birth due to eclampsia and late pregnancy losses.
