APS - Increased Risk of Blood Clots

[Buggerbear]

Has anyone with an MPN with JAK-2 had an Extended Antiphospholipid Profile done? These blood tests check your antibodies (immunoglobulin) which are protective proteins (made by your plasma cells - WBC) produced by your immune system. They attach to foreign substances (antigens) such as bacteria, fungi, viruses and toxins and remove them from your body.

I have APS (Antiphospholipid Syndrome) which is a condition which the immune system mistakely creates antibodies that attack tissue in the body and is responsible for blood clots forming in your arteries, veins, heart, lungs and other organs.

Just wondering if this goes along with having polycythemia and thrombocythemia? I have had blood clots in lungs in 2019 and again in both lungs in November 2022.
