Mahaparn P, Rojnuckarin P. Prevalence of vascular thrombosis and obstetric complications
نویسنده
چکیده
Background The European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) recommends primary prophylaxis with aspirin and hydroxychloroquine in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients with antiphospholipid antibodies without prior thrombosis. However, Asian populations may have lower incidence of thrombosis and the role of primary prophylaxis is unclear. Therefore, we examined the prevalence of thrombosis in Thai antiphospholipid-positive SLE patients. Methods The medical records of SLE patients (N = 715) admitted to King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital from 2002 2012 were studied. Two hundred and eighteen patients were investigated for antiphospholipid antibodies, and 82 of them (37.6%) were positive. These 82 patients were studied for baseline characteristics, the types of antiphospholipid antibodies, prevalence of thrombosis and other potential risk factors. นพินธต์น้ฉบบั

متن کاملHaplotype M2 in the annexin A5 (ANXA5) gene and the occurrence of obstetric complications.
Inherited or acquired thrombophilias have been largely explored as a cause of pregnancy complications. However, pathogenesis of obstetric complications, as fetal loss and pregnancy-related hypertensive disorders is still partly unexplained. Recently, a common haplotype (M2) within the annexin A5 (ANXA5) gene has been described as a risk factor in recurrent fetal losses (RFL). It has been demons...
