Welcome
to the website of the Hughes Syndrome Foundation. We are a UK
registered charity dedicated to promoting awareness and funding
research into Hughes Syndrome which is also known medically
as the antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). Our website provides
information about the charity and all aspects of Hughes Syndrome
for patients, doctors and supporters.
Hughes Syndrome is an autoimmune disorder which can present
many clinical features, some of which
can be life threatening, including strokes and thrombosis, and
it can also be the cause of recurrent miscarriage. The good
news is that, once diagnosed, Hughes Syndrome is potentially
treatable; the bad news is that, as the condition is relatively
new, it often goes undetected or misdiagnosed. With your help
we hope to raise the profile of Hughes Syndrome so that we can
discover more about its causes, prevalence and treatment. |
