Abstract
Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome is disorder of coagulation characterize with vascular thrombosis associated with increase of antiphospholipid (aPL) antibody such as anticardiolipin (aCL) antibodies, lupus anticoagulant (LA), and anti-beta 2 glycoprotein I antibody.
Management of with antiphospholipid antibody syndrome basicly consists of management and pregnancy (antenatal care), labour, and puerpurium. The aim of the management is to monitor the risk of thrombosis, inadequate uteroplacenter circulation, and decide the perfect timing for delivery. The rational therapy given is both preventive and curative with anticoagulant and antiplatelet agent. The new paradigm in management of antiphospholipid antibody syndrome is treatment with intravena immunoglobulin to decrease aCL and LA.
