Assessment of the activity and organ damage in antiphospholipid syndrome

The review provides a brief description of the clinical and serological markers of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), risk factors for the development and recurrence of thrombosis in APS. A complete description of the GAPSS and its simplified (corrected) version, adjusted GAPSS (aGAPSS), as well as the DIAPS, is presented. These scales allow one to determine the activity of APS and reflect the range of cumulative and/or irreversible damage due to the disease.
