FASLG and autoimmune polyendocrinopathy: In APS patients who underwent a first VTE, VKA are the first choice for secondary thromboprophylaxis with a recommended target INR of 2-3 (higher treatment intensity has shown no benefit [44]); however, aPL antibodies can interfere with some prothrombin time reagents, thereby complicating the reliable measurement of INR and consequently the VKA dosage adjustment, and human recombinant thromboplastins should not be used in this case [45].
