Management for people with SLE and antiphospholipid syndrome

For management of people with diagnoses of SLE and antiphospholipid syndrome (based on the presence of aPL antibodies and clinical features), see Management overview of thrombotic antiphospholipid syndrome. The management is stratified into those with a first thromboembolic episode and those with recurrent episodes. People with SLE and antiphospholipid syndrome should be managed in consultation with a specialist centre.
