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 as anticordiolipin 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 IgG 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 IgG anticardiolipin were negative for IgG antiphospholipid and 7 out of 10 patients with positive IgG antiphosphplipid were negative IgG anticardiolipin, but there was a significant correlation between IgG anticardiolipin and IgG antiphaspholipid ( r = 0.222 p=0.000). Our data concluded that anticardiolipin antibody is found to be more important than anti phospholipid antibody in recurrent abortion.
