Abstract

AIM: This study aimed at evaluating the prevalence of high anticardiolipin antibody and lupus anticoagulant levels in women with histories of at least two miscarriages.

METHODS: The presence of high anticardiolipin antibody and lupus anticoagulant levels were evaluated in 52 patients with ages between 17 and 41 (mean 26.7 years old) who had histories of repeated miscarriages.

RESULTS: High anticardiolipin antibody levels were identified in 55.77% and lupus anticoagulant levels in 2% of the individuals.

CONCLUSION: In conclusion, women who suffer from repeated miscarriages present with a high prevalence of anticardiolipin antibodies. Further studies on this issue are crucial as these antibodies are associated with hypercoagulability and thus increased the risk of thromboembolic events.

Keywords: Repetitive miscarriage; anticardiolipin antibodies; anticoagulant.; lupus; thromboembolism
