My brother got a call just after 2:00 A.M. today saying dad was going to be taken to the hospital. Apparently he'd gotten up to go to the bathroom, was pulling up his sweatpants, lost his balance & went face first into the wall & fell. He has a really large bump on his head, he scraped his hands/arms, leg. Because he takes Coumadin they needed to get him to...1 Recommendation7 Comments -

Went to see dad this weekend. We caught him in the hall walking with his walker & as soon as he saw us he got anxious, then wanted to go lie down, then started complaining, mostly about the qty. of pills he has to take each morning. Seems like he's lost more weight. After awhile we took him down for dinner. All he ate was a cup of soup, a turkey burg...1 Recommendation2 Comments -

Antiphospholipid Syndrome Information
Antiphospholipid syndrome (or antiphospholipid antibody syndrome) is a disorder of coagulation which causes thrombosis in both arteries and veins, as well as recurrent miscarriage. It is due to the autoimmune production of antibodies against cell membrane constituents. It is occasionally referred to as Hughes' syndrome after the rheumatologist Dr Graham R.V. Hughes (St. Thomas' Hospital, London, UK).
A very rare form is the catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome, in which there is rapid organ dysfunction and failure. It carries a high mortality.
Often, this disease is treated by giving aspirin to inhibit platelet activation, and/or warfarin as an anticoagulant. The goal of the prophylactic treatment is to maintain the patient's INR between 2.0-3.0. It is not usually done in patients who have not had any thrombotic symptoms. During pregnancy, heparin is used instead of warfarin because of warfarin's teratogenicity.
Women with recurrent miscarriage are often advised to take aspirin and to start heparin (or low molecular weight heparin) treatment after missing a period. This is the most effective treatment at the moment.
