Prevalence of Inherited Thrombophilia in Women with Recurrent Pregnancy Loss During the First Trimester of Pregnancy.

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the prevalence of inherited thrombophilia in women with recurrent pregnancy loss during the first trimester of pregnancy. The study was assessed the potential role of inherited thrombophilia in recurrent miscarriages and evaluate the consequences of this condition on the reproductive outcomes of affected women.

Material and methods: This study was an analytical descriptive carried out in Khartoum, Sudan. The research comprised 98 controls who had given birth twice or more without experiencing a miscarriage and 120 patients. Each patient had done more than two miscarriages especially when the pregnancy is at its beginning trimester. (APCR), and (PS) were investigated using the clotting approach. There was an assessment of biological activities of (ATIII), (PC), and (PS) for both groups using the chromogenic method.

Results: The average age of the patients was 34, which was higher than the average age of the controls (33.5). The patient group had a much higher rate of multiple miscarriages among the women.: 35 (29.17%), 45 (37.50%), and 40 (33.33%). The incidence of PC deficiencies was determined to be 1.02% (1/98), whereas neither ATIII nor PS deficiencies were seen in the control group (0/98). APCR was more prevalent in the control group (4.10% or 4/98).

Conclusion: Despite contradicting evidence to the contrary in the literature, our findings imply that most miscarriages occur when pregnancy is at the first trimester when a woman is pregnant and they are all caused by thrombophilia.
