Abstract

Background: Repeated failure is a serious problematic in which numerous issues show a vital part such as anticardiolipin antibodies (ACA) and antinuclear antibodies (ANA).

Objectives: The goal of this investigation learning was to approximation anticardiolipin (IgG) and antinuclear (IgG) antibodies in patients of recurring unsolved pregnancy damage and intrauterine fatal demises (IUFD).

Methods: One hundred & twenty (120) women were enrolled in this prospective case-controlled study from Maternity Hospital, Erbil City, Iraq. Altogether patients needed absent finished a consistent examination order. They were (60) patients with a past of three & additional attacks of previous abortions and (60) well pregnant. Entirely remained separated for ANA-IgG, ACL-IgG in serum.

Results: It was noted that (19/60, 31.7%) of the patients & (7/60, 11.67%) healthy control were positive for ACL-IgG with a mean concentration of 38±10.3 IU/ml in the patient's group, and 11.6±4.4 IU/ml in the healthy control with highly significant at (p≤0.01). It was shown from the results that (15/60, 25%) of the patients & (6/60, 10%) healthy control were positive for ANA-IgG with a mean concentration of (6.2 ± 0.4) IU/ml in the patients group, and (0.75±0.325) IU/ml in the healthy control with significant at (p≤0.05). The occurrence of both ACL &ANA among the seropositive patients cases were 8/19 (42.11%), whereas 11/19 (57.89%) among the seronegative patient's cases with a significant difference regarding the distribution of ANA in both ACL-positive & ACL-negative cases (P<0.05).

Conclusions: Anticardiolipin and Antinuclear antibodies constitute an important cause of recurrent mid-trimester abortion in Iraqi, women.
