Overview
The primary prevention of antiphospholipid syndrome is anticoagulation with low-dose aspirin or warfarin in patients with risk factors for arterial and venous thrombosis, daily low dose of aspirin for primary thrombosis prevention in asymptomatic individuals with persistent antiphospholipid antibodies, minimizing the contribution of reversible risk factors for recurrent thrombosis and use of statins in patients with hyperlipidemia.
Primary Prevention
The primary prevention of antiphospholipid syndrome is as follows:[1][2][3]
- Anticoagulation with low-dose aspirin or warfarin in patients with risk factors for arterial and venous thrombosis.
- Minimizing the contribution of reversible risk factors for recurrent thrombosis.
- A daily low dose of aspirin for primary thrombosis prevention in asymptomatic individuals with persistent antiphospholipid antibodies.
- Use of statins in patients with hyperlipidemia.
| Primary thromboprophylaxis | |
|---|---|
| Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and lupus anticoagulant and/or persistently positive anticardiolipin | Hydroxychloroquine and consider low-dose aspirin |
| Patients with obstetric antiphospholipid syndrome | Low-dose aspirin or no therapy |
| Asymptomatic carriers of antiphospholipid antibodies | No therapy or low dose aspirin |
| All patients with antiphospholipid antibodies | Strict control of vascular risk factors |
| High-risk situations (surgery, post partum, long-lasting immobilisation) | Adequate thromboprophylaxis |
