The Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome is an autoimmune disorder that occurs when body’s immune system makes antibodies that attack and damage the tissues. These antibodies that mistakenly attack phospholipids found in the lining of the blood vessels result in formation of clots. The effect of thrombophilia on pregnancy is uncertain. Here we discuss a case of preterm abruption at 30 weeks of gestation in a patient with Lupus positive status in a patient without preeclampsia.
