Antiphospholipid Antibodies in Iraqi Women with Recurrent Mid-Trimester Abortions

Characterization of antiphospholipid antibodies in women with recurrent spontaneous abortions.

Antiphospholipid antibodies are important in the etiology of recurrent pregnancy loss. To date, most studies have concentrated on antibodies to cardiolipin specifically. In this study, the serum of 352 women with recurrent pregnancy loss was studied by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for antibodies to six phospholipid epitopes: cardiolipin, phosphoserine, phosphoglycerol, phosphoethanolamine,...

Anticardiolipin and Antiphospholipid Antibodies in Iraqi Patients with Angina Pectoris

study on antiphospholipid/anticardioliplin antibodies in women with recurrent abortion

conclusions antipospholipid antibodies based on number of abortions and gestational age of abortions were increased. mean antipospholipid and anticardiolipin antibodies in all patients remained in high level just in first 5 years post abortion and then began to fall. results mean age of participants was 24-39 years old. the average rate of antiphospolipid antibodies in patients with normal anti...
