This book discusses the major clinical features of the antiphospholipid syndrome. With each chapter focusing on the different organs, the book provides a quick practical and reader-friendly reference for the different problems that might be encountered in clinical practice. Treatment is a major concern in an area where evidence-based medicine is sparse and there are chapters dedicated to diagnosis from a laboratory point of view. Further chapters focus on pregnancy management, arterial thrombosis and venous thrombosis as well as chapters on paediatric antiphospholipid syndrome and prognosis and long-term outcome. Due to the multi-disciplinary nature of this disease, the primary readership groups are general and internal medicine physicians and sub-specialities include rheumatologists, haematologists, cardiovascular physicians, neurologists, nephrologists, dermatologists, chest physicians and obstetric physicians and obstetricians.
