The Association between ABO and Rh Blood Groups and Risk of Endometriosis in Iranian Women
Authors
Abstract:
Objective Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease, affects women’s quality of life. Several studies revealed that both environmental and genetic factors contribute to the development of endometriosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the distribution of ABO and Rh blood groups in Iranian women with endometriosis referring to two referral infertility centers in Tehran, Iran. MaterialsAndMethods In this study, women who were referred to Royan Institute and Arash women’s hospital for diagnostic laparoscopy were assessed between 2013 and 2014. Based on the laparoscopy findings, women were categorized into two groups: endometriosis and control (women without endometriosis and normal pelvis) groups. Chi-square and logistic regression tests were used for data analysis. Results In this study, 433 women were assessed. Two hundred thirteen patients belong to the endometriosis group while the remainder 220 subjects were considered as controls. The most frequent ABO blood group was O (40.6%); while, the least blood group was AB (4.8%). In regard to Rh blood group, positive Rh was more frequent than negative Rh (90.1% vs. 9.9%). There was no significant correlation between ABO (P=0.091) and Rh (P=0.55) blood groups and risk of endometriosis. Also, there was no significant difference between two groups in regard to the stage of endometriosis and distribution of ABO and Rh blood groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Although the O blood group was less dominant in Iranian endometriotic women no significant correlation was found between risk of endometriosis and ABO Rh blood groups. Also, the severity of endometriosis was not correlated to any of these blood groups.
