Thrombosis in disseminated lupus erythematosus

Abstract

In the course of disseminated lupus erythematosus (DLE), the development of arterial or venous thrombosis is sometimes observed. They are rare in the course of hematological forms of DLE, in which the more or less constant leucopenia is accompanied to variable extent by the affection of the other blood-lines: thrombocytopenia and/or thrombocytopathy and/or hemolytic anemia. The discovery of a circulating anticoagulant seems to be correlated with the existence of thrombosis. In fact it involves antiphospholipid antibodies, responsible for the protraction of certain coagulation tests, which shows up their existence. Recent studies have shown recognition of the membrane phospholipids of the vascular endothelial cell. A functional imbalance in this would be observed to encourage the synthesis of factors favorable to thrombosis.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.

Antiphospholipid Syndrome

Antiphospholipid syndrome or antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS or APLS), is an autoimmune, hypercoagulable state caused by the presence of antibodies directed against phospholipids.
