Autoimmune thrombophilia

Autoimmune thrombophilia is a condition where the immune system mistakenly produces antibodies that promote blood clotting, leading to an increased risk of thrombosis. This is clinically significant as it can result in recurrent venous thromboembolism, which may complicate pregnancy or post-operative recovery. A key association is with antiphospholipid syndrome, where patients may experience arterial or venous clots alongside other autoimmune manifestations.
