Antiphospholipid antibodies are persistently positive at high titers. Additive value of platelet-bound C4d

Savino Sciascia et al.

Summary: High titers of aPL often remain positive, allowing for earlier diagnosis and risk assessment at the initial screening. Low titers may require retesting. There is a high correlation between aCL and aB2GP1 measured using two different technologies. The correlation between PC4d and aPL is low to moderate, suggesting a possible additional value in evaluating the association with thrombosis in autoimmune diseases.

Antiphospholipid patterns predict risk of thrombosis in systemic lupus erythematosus

Selcan Demir et al.

Summary: The study showed that LA remained the best predictor of thrombosis in SLE patients, and adding additional aPL did not increase the risk except for anti-beta(2)-glycoprotein I IgA.

Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus face a high risk of cardiovascular disease: A systematic review and Meta-analysis

Xiaohong Lu et al.

Summary: The systematic review and meta-analysis found that patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) have a higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) compared to the general or healthy population, and the risk of CVD in lupus nephritis (LN) patients is significantly higher than in SLE patients.

Platelet bound complement split product (PC4d) is a marker of platelet activation and arterial vascular events in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Yevgeniya Gartshteyn et al.

Summary: Elevated levels of PC4d are associated with arterial events in SLE patients, independent of antiphospholipid status, smoking, and prednisone use. PC4d levels are correlated with abnormalities in platelet function and may serve as a mechanistic marker for vascular disease in SLE.
