Abstract

Objective: Although several pathophysiological mechanisms are defined in the etiology of habitual abortion, still causes half of the cases haven’t been clarified yet. It has been reported that folate and vitamin B12 are effective in early pregnancy complications. In our study, we aimed to reveal the relationship between habitual abortion with folate and vitamin B12 levels.

Özet

Amaç: Habitüel abortus etiyolojisinde birçok patofizyolojik mekanizma tanımlanmış olsa da vakaların yarısının nedeni hala aydınlatılamamıştır. Folat ve B12 vitamininin erken gebelik komplikasyonları üzerinde etkili olduğu bildirilmektedir. Biz de çalışmamızda habitüel abortus ile folat ve vitamin B12 düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkiyi ortaya koymayı amaçladık.
