Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune condition where the body makes certain proteins (antibodies) that increase the risk of blood clots. These clots can form in veins or arteries and may lead to serious problems like deep vein thrombosis (DVT), stroke, or pregnancy complications.
APS can occur on its own or along with diseases like lupus.

APS can be silent at times and only be found after a clot or pregnancy issues
