Abstract:
Antiphospholipid antibodies are increasingly investigated as a cause of arterial and venous thrombosis. These include anticardiolipin and lupus anticoagulant antibodies. The former was linked to several types of venous thrombosis, included deep venous thrombosis in upper and lower limbs, pulmonary embolism, intracranial venous and retinal venous thrombosis. Types of arterial thrombosis can be involved in coronary, carotid, cerebral or retinal arteries... Anticardiolipin antibody is found commonly in myocardial infarction, valve abnormalities and lupus erythematous.
