Our approach to treatment recognizes that APS is different in every person. We provide specialists in hematology, obstetrics, neurology, nephrology and more. Additionally, our rheumatologists work with each patient to develop a personalized treatment approach to pursue the very best possible long-term outcome.

A doctor’s referral is recommended for new patients. Physicians can connect with the clinic by calling MLine, our 24/7 physician-to-physician portal, at 1-800-962-3555. 

We recommend that new patients who are referred by doctors outside of U-M Health bring copies of all laboratory and imaging tests to their first appointment. Access to the latest information allows us to develop a treatment plan as quickly as possible. Existing patients who have questions about treatment or about scheduling or rescheduling appointments can phone the clinic directly at 1-888-229-3065.

Ongoing research at U-M Health seeks to understand why certain people develop Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), to find new and better ways to treat the disease, and ultimately, to find a cure. Collaborations with researchers in Biomedical Engineering, Cardiovascular Medicine and Vascular Surgery are taking on APS from all angles, using the latest advances in cell and molecular biology, pharmacology, genetics and epigenetics.

Projects include:

• Pursuing anti-inflammatory treatments that might provide a more targeted approach with fewer side effects. Specifically, investigators are exploring the role that neutrophils - the most abundant white blood cells in the body - play in APS.
• The program collaborates with many national and international partners, providing our patients access to the latest clinical trials and study protocols.
