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.

Newly diagnosed

Receiving a new diagnosis of APS can be frightening, and no doubt you will want to know exactly what APS is. Following this, you will likely have a great many more questions to ask about the condition and how it can affect you. We are here to help!
