How Is Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome Treated?
Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS) has no cure, but some medicines can help prevent complications. The goals of treatment are to prevent blood clots from forming and keep existing clots from getting larger. If you have APS and another autoimmune disorder, such as lupus, it s important to control that condition as well. When the other condition is controlled, APS may cause fewer problems. Research is ongoing for new ways to treat APS.
