Diagnosis and treatment

APS is usually diagnosed from a combination of a positive blood test and symptoms. If you are under 50 and have suffered a thrombosis, or have had more than one pregnancy loss, you should discuss with your doctor whether you need blood tests.

Related conditions

Some people with APS will also have other autoimmune conditions, as may their family members. APS has been linked with many other autoimmune conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, Raynaud’s phenomenon, and Sjögren’s syndrome.
