Diagnostic Role of Antiphospholipid Antibodies and Microparticles in Immune Thrombocytopenic Patients With Thrombosis

Antiphospholipid (aPL) antibodies are a heterogeneous group of autoantibodies with high affinity for phospholipids such lupus anticoagulant (LA), β2glycoprotien І (β2GPІ), and anticardiolipin (anti-CL). They interfere with physiological mechanisms of coagulation and fibrinolysis, leading the haemostatic balance towards coagulation. Moreover, it seems to affect the physiological function of various cells such as platelets and endothelial cells
