The Clinical Value Of Testing For Aphl, a New ELISA Kit With a Unique Phospholipid Mixture In Patients With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)
Background/Purpose: Antibodies directed to APhL (a mixture of phospholipids) have been reported to predict APS more reliably than aCL tests. We designed this study to…Abstract Number: 2516 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Plasma Microparticles Are Associated With Venous Thrombosis In Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background/Purpose: Thrombosis in SLE is highly associated with antiphospholipid antibodies, yet the majority of those with antiphospholipid antibodies never have a thrombotic event. Plasma microparticles…Abstract Number: 7 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Prospective Validation Of The Global Antiphospholipid Syndrome Score (GAPSS)
Prospective Validation of the Global Antiphospholipid Syndrome Score (GAPSS) Background/Purpose: Backgrounds: This study was performed to prospectively and independently validate the GAPSS (1) (Global APS…Abstract Number: 16 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Only IgG and IgA β2glycoprotein I Antibody Isotypes Are Associated With Venous Thrombosis In Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background/Purpose: The current APS Classification Criteria recommend testing for IgG and IgM antibodies for β2glycoprotein I (β2GPI), and do not differentiate between primary and secondary…Abstract Number: 2569 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Hydroxychloroquine Reduces Thrombosis in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, Particularly in Antiphospholipid Positive Patients
Background/Purpose: Past studies, mostly cross-sectional, have found a reduction in thrombosis in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients taking hydroxychloroquine (HCQ). We examined the relationship between…Abstract Number: 1740 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Impairment of Quality of Life in Patients with Antiphospholipid Syndrome
Background/Purpose : Quality of life (QoL) is an important outcome in clinical care especially in patients with chronic disease such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).…Abstract Number: 1730 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Antiphosphatidylethanolamine Is Not Associated with Thrombosis or Pregnancy Loss in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background/Purpose: Phosphatidylethanolamine, a zwitterionic phospholipid, is a major component of the cell plasma membrane. Phospatidylethanolamine exerts both anticoagulant and procoagulant activities in different conditions. The…Abstract Number: 1732 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Annexin A5 Resistance Identifies a Subset of Thrombosis Patients in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background/Purpose: Annexins are a family of structurally related proteins that bind to phospholipids in a calcium dependant manner. Annexin A5 (AnxA5), present on the surfaces…Abstract Number: 1734 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Clinical Accuracy for Diagnosis of Antiphospholipid Syndrome in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: Evaluation of 23 Possible Combinations of Antiphospholipid Antibody Specificities
Background/Purpose: The clinical accuracy of testing for antiphospholipid antibody (aPL) both, as individual tests and/or in combination, is still being investigated. We aimed to identify…Abstract Number: 1419 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Infections Increase Risk of Arterial and Venous Thromboses in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Patients: 4925 Patient Years of Follow-up
Background/Purpose: Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are at increased risk of developing coronary heart disease as well as infections. Acute infections have been recognized…Abstract Number: 1423 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Vascular Thrombosis and Pregnancy Morbidity in Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus with Positive Antiphospholipid Profile and Thrombocytopenia
