.: Depends on your lab. If it is a send out investigation, it may take a week, if they do it in the same lab it takes a day.

Answer 2

Varies: Depending on the lab from 1to 14 days.

Answer 3

Blood tests: Anti-phospholipid antibody syndrome (less well known as hughes syndrome) is an autoimmune syndrome leading to a hypercoagulable state. This can lead to formation of abnormal blood clots and trouble with miscarriages. The diagnosis is made with blood tests.

Answer 4

Hughes Syndrome: Antiphospholipid syndrome is a clotting disorder that can be diagnosed by a few simple blood tests.

Answer 5

Clotting problems: Hughes syndrome is characterized by the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies along with excessive arterial and venous clotting. It is an autoimmune disease and can develop into lupus. Women with antiphospholipid syndrome often have complications with pregnancy, like miscarriages, still births and pre-eclampsia.

Answer 6

Hughes Syndrome: Antiphospholipid syndrome. Increased risk of clot disorders and thrombosis.

Answer 8

Autoimmune: Autoimmune means your body produces antibodies - cells that attack your own body. In antiphosopholipid syndrome the antibody which is made provokes blood clots (thrombosis) in both arteries and veins as well as pregnancy-related complications such as miscarriage, stillbirth, preterm delivery, or severe preeclampsia.

Answer 9

APS: To make this diagnosis you need to have abnormal test results at least twice a month apart as well as abnormalities such as recurrent pregnancy loss or blot clots (thrombosis) or pulmonary embolus. If you have not had problems hulu don't have the condition.

Answer 10

Recurrent Preg Loss: Apa are assoictaed with recurrent pregnancy loss where the pregnancy may be rejected or associated with clotting at the placental site. It can be treated with blood thinners.

Answer 11

It is automimmune!: Apls can occur in many autoimmune settings (with lupus or spondylitis), or simply by itself. There are three major types of anticardiolipin antibodies. The IgG class is particularly a problem in pregnant females, becuase these antibodies can clot placental vessels. Igm anticardiolipin antibodies are more serious if elevated in non-pregnant adults because of greater arterial clot risk!

Answer 12

Acquired: Antiphospholipid antibodies (apla) are one of the acquired (as opposed to inherited) thrombophilias (conditions that cause blood clotting). As others have said, apla can cause miscarriages. It is unusual amongst the thrombophilias in that it causes venous and artrial clots. At one time, it was thought that lupus was the cause of apla, we now know that you can get apla without having lupus.

Answer 13

Autoimmune disease : Also known as autoimmune polyendocrinopathy-candidiasis-ectodermal dystrophy (apeced) or as whitaker syndrome. It is associated with candidiasis, hypoparathyroidism, and adrenal failure. No cure exist to date and treatment is typically hormonal replacement and anti fungal treatment if needed. Of note, type 1 is far less common than type 2.

Answer 14

APS-1: Autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 1: too much info to fit in this small window. Following site covers topic very thoroughly, provides links for diagnosis & treatments, & even links to physicians who treat this rare disorder: http://ghr.Nlm.Nih.Gov/condition/autoimmune-polyglandular-syndrome-type-1.

Answer 15

APLS: Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome is an autoimmune disease that can cause the blood to clot more easily. This can put an individual at increased risk of some health problems like blood clots or pregnancy problems like miscarriage or stillbirth or pre-eclampsia. It can be treated with medications which help prevent blood clots, like Coumadin (warfarin) or Heparin or lovenox.

Answer 16

Antiphospholipid ...: Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome is an autoimmune disorder where abnormal antibodies in the blood can cause recurrent pregnancy losses (repeated miscarriages) or blood clots in the leg veins (deep venous thrombosis or dvt) or lungs (pulmonary embolism or pe). We look for these antibodies in women with two or more miscarriages. It is treated with low dose Aspirin plus Heparin or Lovenox (enoxaparin) shots.
