Thrombophilia and pregnancy complications

Abstract

This systematic review examines the strength of the association between thrombophilia and recurrent pregnancy loss and other serious obstetric complications. Study design Electronic databases and manual bibliography searches were used to identify studies evaluating the association between thrombophilia and pregnancy loss, preeclampsia, fetal growth retardation, and placental abruption. Thrombophilic disorders are associated with an increased risk of fetal loss in the majority of case control and cohort studies. The risk is increased throughout pregnancy, but may be higher in the second and third trimester. The common pathologic finding of placental infarction suggests unexplained fetal loss may result from uteroplacental insufficiency and thrombosis. Thrombophilic disorders are not consistently associated with preeclampsia, fetal growth retardation, or placental abruption. Preliminary data suggest prophylactic anticoagulation may improve outcome in thrombophilic women with unexplained recurrent fetal loss. Women with thrombophilia have an increased risk of pregnancy loss and possibly other serious obstetric complications, although definition of the magnitude of risk will require prospective longitudinal studies. Preliminary dat...Continue Reading

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.

Antiphospholipid Syndrome

Antiphospholipid syndrome or antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS or APLS), is an autoimmune, hypercoagulable state caused by the presence of antibodies directed against phospholipids.
