Opis

Antiphospholipid syndrome can cause blood clots to form within the arteries, veins and organs. It can also cause miscarriage and stillbirth in pregnant women. Symptoms may include blood clots, which may occur in the legs, arms or lungs. Recurrent miscarriages may also be common. Blood-thinning medication can reduce the risk of blood clots. The present study was aim to assess the clinical significance of antiphospholipid antibodies towards thrombosis and abortions of pregnancy women using IgG and IgM levels. The results showed that the IgG and IgM level of antiphospholipid indicated significantly increased serum level when compared control aspirin. Therefore, the levels of IgG and IgM were increased in both groups, thus denying any role of raised antiphospholipid antibodies and recurrent abortion cases.
