Hi there,
Only if your platelet count is less than 20000/cmm you will need treatment in the form of steroids. Otherwise there is no need to treat thrombocytopenia.
If APLA is incidentally detected, no treatment is need for that.
You are at higher risk of developing clots in blood vessels. Hence in high risk situations you will need thromboprophylaxis.
Please consult a rheumatologist, and get tested for autoimmune conditions such as SLE. You may need a treatment, if found positive.
With regards,
Dr. Girish Kamat
