Levels of Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies is Higher in Threatened Abortion

Anti-Thyroid Peroxidase and Risk of Recurrent Spontaneous Abortion

Background Approximately 2-4% of all women have recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA); however, the cause is determined in only 50% of cases. Recent studies have shown an association between thyroid autoantibodies as a sign of thyroid autoimmunity and abortion. The aim of the present study was to determine whether circulating anti-thyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO) was associated with RSA. MaterialsA...

[Antimicrosomal antibodies and thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPOAb)].

Thyroid peroxidase antibodies, levels of thyroid stimulating hormone and development of hypothyroidism in euthyroid subjects.

OBJECTIVE Thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPOAbs) have been found to be related to the levels of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and to predict future development of thyroid failure in selected populations. We investigated these relations in a euthyroid general population. DESIGN Cross-sectional investigation of the relationship of TPOAbs and levels of TSH in euthyroid subjects. Prospective ...

Plasma diamine oxidase levels in pregnancy complicated by threatened abortion.

Plasma diamine oxidase levels were assayed in 66 patients who presented with pregnancy complicated by threatened abortion. Levels within the normal range were associated with continuing pregnancies, whereas levels below the normal range were associated with subsequent abortion. Among those patients in whom gestation was greater than eight weeks, 66.6% of diamine oxidase levels correctly predict...

Placental lactogen levels as guide to outcome of threatened abortion.

The clinical value has been assessed of circulating placental lactogen levels as a pointer to the outcome in a patient with vaginal bleeding in early pregnancy. By using a semiautomated radioimmunoassay the normal range of values for the first and second trimesters has been established. In patients admitted with vaginal bleeding after the eighth week of gestation estimation of plasma human plac...
