Descriptor síndrome antifosfolipídico
Entry term(s) síndrome antifosfolípido
síndrome de los anticuerpos antifosfolípidos
síndrome del anticuerpo antifosfolípido
Scope note: Presencia de anticuerpos dirigidos contra los fosfolípidos (ANTICUERPOS ANTIFOSFOLÍPIDOS). Esta afección se asocia con diversas enfermedades, principalmente el lupus eritematoso sistémico y otras enfermedades del tejido conectivo, trombopenia, y trombosis arterial o venosa. En el embarazo puede provocar aborto. De los fosfolípidos, las cardiolipinas muestran niveles muy elevados de anticuerpos anticardiolipinas (ANTICUERPOS ANTICARDIOLIPINAS). También están presentes altos niveles de anticoagulante lúpico (INHIBIDOR DE LA COAGULACIÓN DEL LUPUS).

Scope note: The presence of antibodies directed against phospholipids (ANTIBODIES, ANTIPHOSPHOLIPID). The condition is associated with a variety of diseases, notably systemic lupus erythematosus and other connective tissue diseases, thrombopenia, and arterial or venous thromboses. In pregnancy it can cause abortion. Of the phospholipids, the cardiolipins show markedly elevated levels of anticardiolipin antibodies (ANTIBODIES, ANTICARDIOLIPIN). Present also are high levels of lupus anticoagulant (LUPUS COAGULATION INHIBITOR).
