Thrombotic skin disease as a marker of the anticardiolipin syndrome. Livedo vasculitis and distal gangrene associated with abnormal serum antiphospholipid activity

Abstract

Two patients with livedo vasculitis and microthrombosis of the dermal vessels and one patient with symmetric gangrene of both hands are presented. Their only biologic abnormality was the presence of a lupus-type circulating anticoagulant and an increased level of anticardiolipin antibodies. These observations and the few previously reported cases of cutaneous disorders associated with abnormal antiphospholipid activity suggest that the common pathologic process is thrombosis.

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.

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.
