It is autoimmune: Antiphospholipid syndrome(aps) is an autoimmune condition which can be its own entity or associated with other connective tissue diseases such as lupus. A diagnosis requires thorough evaluation by a rheumatologist. Typically, we don't make a diagnosis after one test result. The general rule of thumb is to repeat the test 3 months after the first one to confirm. There is more than one test.
