Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune disorder in which your body's immune system (defense system) makes antibodies that attack the body’s cells, resulting in damage and inflammation. This can lead to the formation of blood clots in the veins and arteries of different organs, for example, legs, lungs, kidneys, etc. one significant consequence of APS is recurrent miscarriages that happen due to the formation of blood clots in the placenta, the organ that nurtures the fetus. Antiphospholipid syndrome is often treated with medicines that reduce the risk of clot formation as there is no cure for the disorder.
