Background Antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) have been associated with organ damage and certain features in SLE patients. Objectives To investigate the association between the different aPL and SLE manifestations as well as to elucidate the influence of the load of antibodies. Methods Patients from the RELESSER-T registry were included. RELESSER-T is a multicenter, hospital-based registry, with retrospective cross-sectional collection of data adult non-selected patients with SLE attending Spanish rheumatology services from the public national health system. Results Out of a total of 3651 SLE patients, 1368 were positive for aPL (44.9% of patients were positive for anticardiolipin (aCL) antibodies, 27.3% for anti b2glycoprotein I (aB2GPI) and 24% for lupus anticoagulant (LA)). Regarding the load of antibodies, 20.6%, 12.1% and 4.8% were positive for one, two and three antibodies, respectively. The association between the different aPL, the number of positive antibodies and antiphospholipid syndrome related manifestations is showed in Table 1. Overall, all types of aPL were associated with classic APS manifestations, although LA, IgG isotypes, and patients with more than one aPL display a higher risk to develop clinical APS. Regarding specific lupus manifestations, all aPL types showed a significant negative association with cutaneous manifestations. LA and aCL were associated with an increased risk of cardiac, respiratory and neuropsychiatric manifestations (p Conclusion There is a hierarchy for aPL and the risk of APS and lupus manifestations. aCL, and especially LA, confer a higher risk for major organ involvement in SLE patients. IgG isotypes and the load of aPL antibodies increase the risk for clinical APS and major lupus manifestations.
