What is the life expectancy of someone with Antiphospholipid / Hughes Syndrome?
Life expectancy with Antiphospholipid / Hughes Syndrome: what research and real patients say, recent advances, and a medically reviewed summary with sources.
The same as anyone else provided you're well medicated and take care of yourself.

This is dependant on recurring thrombosis issues but I wouldn't say APS lowers life expectancy, it's the complications that can come about from having APS

I know, and am very good friends with a woman in her 80s with Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome.

Full life expectancy if managed correctly

No matter how well some people manage APS it does not always stop the clotting. So to say full life expectancy if managed correctly does not seem right to me. I would say it depends on how much damage was done before your diagnosis and on how well your medication controls your APS. I would also say that there are probably no reliable statistics yet as the illness was only discovered in 1983 and treatment has improved since then. Certainly back 16 years ago even a straightforward case was thought to reduce your life expectancy and if you have complications such as other illnesses or stuff like high cholesterol then it was reduced further.

If you take care of yourself, i.e. Keep doctors apps., eat a consistent diet, don't avoid vitamin k foods-but eat them regularly and moderately, take your Anticoagulent in the evening, this helps the lab be consistent in determining your INR,
avoid alcohol, don't skip meals, treat your illnesses the lab can adjust your Anticoagulent dosage, you can live a normal lifestyle! LHR

A normal life expectancy unless a clotting incident happens

Life expectancy is generally not shortened by it, it it is managed.
