What are antiphospholipid antibody markers??

[Charli84]

After my London appointment I had a letter that was sent to my rehumatologist and it says they are negative. What does this mean please??

I agree what has been said above to you already - it is very important to go on clinical symptoms, many people have antibodies that appear to come and go in tests, and then if ignored can have worse symptoms if no treatment. Myself an example of that. I am persistently negative for APS, as I was for Systemic Lupus which has now showed up! Alongside other diseases, and it can't be a coincidence that all my children and extended family are affected including relatives not longer with me, some families showing this cluster of pattern, although I will say at this point not every individual will have this , some do not.
