Core Tip Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune disorder defined by the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPLs) such as anticardiolipin, anti-β2 glycoprotein 1, and lupus anticoagulant. Renal involvement is a significant yet underrecognized complication of both primary and secondary APS. Manifestations include renal artery and vein thrombosis, APS nephropathy (APSN), and renal allograft thrombosis. APSN, a hallmark of renal APS, results from vaso-occlusive injury to the intrarenal microvasculature. Accurate diagnosis and risk assessment remain challenging due to evolving criteria and heterogeneous presentation. This review consolidates current evidence on APS and APSN, emphasizing risk factors, underlying mechanisms, and diagnostic approaches.
