What is Hughes syndrome?

Hughes syndrome is an autoimmune disorder which involves attacking your phospholipids (a kind of fat in cell membranes) by antibodies produced from your immune system. These antibodies hamper the functioning of our blood vessels, leading to improper blood clotting. Hughes syndrome can affect both men and women, especially females of childbearing age are more vulnerable to pregnancy complications and risks of miscarriage.
