Risk of thrombosis with anti-phospholipid syndrome in systemic lupus erythematosus treated with thrombopoietin-receptor agonists

Abstract

Our results suggest that aPLs should be systematically screened before TPO-RA initiation in patients with SLE. With aPL positivity, alternative therapy should be discussed (if possible), especially in patients with definite APS or suboptimal adherence to anti-coagulation therapy.
