Aps?

Had my blood tests done for lupus... But something called aps has come back which is some sort of blood clot disorder? 

Is this a common thing to have with lupus or are the symptoms to aps the exact same as lupus?

Some extra info will be much appreciated

Between 30% and 50% of people who have SLE will be positive for antiphospholipid antibodies and approximately 50% of people who have these antibodies can develop increased clotting problems over time if not treated. Antiphospholipid syndrome has a few names and may sometimes be called APS, Sticky Blood syndrome or Hughes Syndrome.

You can learn a lot more about the symptoms and treatment of this condition on the Hughes Syndrome Foundation website at hughes-syndrome.org/

Paul has given you good information. There is also a VERY helpufu forum for APS/HUGHES SYNDROME here on Health Unlocked.
