Can I die from antiphospholipid syndrome?

In very rare cases, people with antiphospholipid syndrome develop blood clots in multiple veins or arteries throughout their body. This is called catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome (CAPS). CAPS usually affects and causes damage to the kidneys, lungs, brain, heart and/or liver. It leads to death in over half of the people who have CAPS. Less than 1% of people who have antiphospholipid syndrome develop catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome.
