There are a few treatments for Antiphospholipid Syndrome. The best treatment would be therapy or Thrombosis.
Medicines can help prevent complications. The goals of treatment are to prevent blood clots.

Treatment for antiphospholipid syndrome typically involves blood thinners to prevent blood clot formation, such as aspirin or anticoagulants like warfarin or heparin. Corticosteroids may be used to reduce inflammation and immune system suppressants to control the immune response. In some cases, medications to regulate blood pressure and cholesterol levels may be prescribed as well. Regular monitoring and follow-up with a healthcare provider are important to manage the condition effectively.
No, you cannot pass Antiphospholipid syndrome to a surrogate mother who is carrying your baby. You can pass it onto your unborn baby though.

Antiphospholipid syndrome is a type of autoimmune disease. It causes clots to form much more easily. This leads to deep vein thrombosis, stroke and clots in organs like the lungs or kidneys.
A disorder of coagulation, which causes blood clots (thrombosis) in both arteries and veins
Yes, there is a potential relationship between antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and avascular necrosis (AVN). APS is an autoimmune disorder characterized by the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies, which can lead to increased clotting and vascular occlusion. This impaired blood flow can affect bone tissue, potentially leading to AVN, particularly in the hip and knee joints. While not all patients with APS will develop AVN, the risk is heightened due to the vascular complications associated with the syndrome.
A defect on maternal chromosome 15 will cause the sundrome. Since the paternal copy, which is most likely normal is silenced, it makes no difference. Uniparental disomy will also result in the syndrome.
Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) can lead to various complications, including blood clots, stroke, and pregnancy-related issues, which may impact life expectancy. However, with proper management and treatment, many individuals with APS can lead normal, healthy lives. The overall life expectancy can vary widely depending on the severity of the disease and the presence of other health conditions. Regular medical care and adherence to treatment plans are crucial for improving outcomes.
Some people with lupus also have problems with their blood clotting too quickly. These people have antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, lupus anticoagulant or anticardiolipin. The condition is managed with blood thinner like coumadin or wafarin and must be carefully monitored. Without treatment, the patient is very likely to suffer cardiovascular events such a strokes, TIA's and heart attacks.
