Abstract

According to Sapporo criteria revised by the Sydney conference, antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is defined by the association of thromboembolic or obstetrical events with biological markers. These biological markers are lupus anticoagulant, anti-cardiolipin antibodies and anti-β2Gp1 antibodies. The main issue of APS remains the assessment of the clinical risk. Clinical scores have been developed but they are rarely used in clinical practice. Biological tests such as thrombin generation assay or anti-domain 1 of β2Gp1 antibodies seem to be promising. This review describes the biological diagnosis APS and discussed prediction of potential prediction tools for the prediction of clinical thromboembolic events.
