Catastrophic Antiphospholipid Syndrome in a Lupus Patient With Severe Recurrent Life-Threatening Clinical Manifestations
Catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome (CAPS) is a rare, severe, and life-threatening form of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). Early recognition and rapid treatment are of great importance to improve patient outcomes and decrease mortality. Herein, we present a case of lupus and APS with obstetric complications, recurrent thrombosis, and renal and hematological manifestations of APS which showed great response to the treatment.
