Comparison of Anticardiolipin antibody and Antiphospholipid antibody in women with recurrent abortions

Recurrent abortion is a critical problem in which many factors play a crucial role such asanticordiolipin antibody and antiphospholipid antibody. this study was conducted to evaluate thefrequency of anticardiolipin antibody and antiphospholipid antibody in pregnancy failures in women withthe history of recurrent pregnancy loss. in 154 women with the history of two or more recurrentpregnancy losses, serum anticardiolipin and serum antiphospholipid were measured using elisa method.the positive jgg anticardiolipin and igg antiphospholipid were detected in 12. 34% (19 patients) and6.5% (10 patients) of patients respectively. although 16 out of 19 patients with positive igganticardiolipin were negative for igg antiphospholipid and 7 out of 10 patients with positive iggantiphosphplipid were negative igg anticardiolipin, but there was a significant correlation between igganticardiolipin and igg antiphaspholipid ( r = 0.222 p=o.ooo). our data concluded that anticardiolipinantibody is found to be more importantthan anti phospholipid antibody in recurrent abortion.
