- A study tracked 111 patients with antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) over 17 years at Mie University Hospital.
- Two patients experienced disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC); one had complications from pancreatitis and pregnancy, while the other had no clear triggers for DIC.

Article Abstract
One hundred and eleven patients with antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) were diagnosed at Mie University Hospital during the past 17 years. Two of these patients developed disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). The first patient twice developed DIC complicated by pancreatitis and pregnancy, while in the second case, no specific causative complications for DIC were identified. The details of these cases imply that aPL is associated with DIC and/or is a potent triggering factor for DIC.
