Hello everyone. I was diagnosed with SLE 20 years ago and last week with LA.

After much reading on line I am a bit confused. Is La, anti phospholipid and Huges all the same? Any help to clarify this for me would be appreciated. Thank you

Hi there and welcome, yes, all the same, Hughes Syndrome, APS, Antiphospholipid Syndrome, Sticky Blood and the misleading name Lupus Anticoagulant. Where are you located? Do have a good read through our charity website, and feel free to ask questions, we all learn from each other on here. hughes-syndrome.org/

Hi and welcome. As Mary has said they are all the same. The LA is one of the three tests for APS.
