REVIEWS

Catastrophic secondary antiphospholipid syndrome with concomitant antithrombin III deficiency

VR Peddi and KS Kant
Department of Internal Medicine, University of Cincinnati Medical Center, OH, USA.

The association between thrombotic events and primary or secondary antiphospholipid/anticardiolipin syndrome is now well recognized. A spectrum of renal involvement ranging from glomerular thrombosis to renal infarction has been described. A case of systemic lupus erythematosus with immunoglobulin G and M antiphospholipid/anticardiolipin antibodies is reported. The patient developed catastrophic thrombosis in multiple organs, and glomerular thrombosis was documented by renal biopsy. The patient had an acquired antithrombin III deficiency, and the combination of secondary antiphospholipid syndrome with accompanying antithrombin III deficiency predisposed to thrombosis. Several mechanisms by which antiphospholipid/anticardiolipin antibodies cause thrombosis have been proposed and are briefly reviewed.
