Abstract

Objective: Our aim is to evaluate factor XII activity in women with recurrent miscarriages by active partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) measurement. Methods: This study was conducted in 145 patients admitted to our clinic with recurrent miscarriages between 2014 and 2016. The inclusion criteria were two consecutive or three non-consec- utive miscarriages in low-grade patients under the 12th gesta- tional week. Factor XII activity was assessed by aPTT. Results: The mean age of women with 145 recurrent miscar- riages included in the study was 28.4 (±7.6) years and the mean number of abortions was 2. The mean factor XII activity was 106.19±33.62% (range, 90-200). Factor XII activity was found to be 60% in 93.2% (n=135) of the patients. Conclusion: In the case of recurrent miscarriages, at least aPTT measurement during routine thrombophilic factors may be use- ful for diagnosis. Investigation of factor XII may be suggested to the patient have prolonged aPTT.

Özet

Amaç: Amacımız tekrarlayan düşükleri olan kadınlarda faktör XII aktivitesinin aPTT ölçümüyle değerlendirilmesidir. Yöntemler: Bu çalışma 2014-2016 yılları arasında tekrarlayan dü- şük problem ile kliniğimize başvuran toplam 145 hastada yapıldı. Dahil olma kriterleri olarak 12. gebelik haftasının altında ardışık 2 tane ya da ardışık olmayan 3 tane düşük hikayesi olan hastalar alındı. Faktör XII aktivitesi aPTT bakılarak değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Çalışmaya dahil edilen 145 tekrarlayan düşükleri olan kadınların ortalama yaşları 28.4 (±7.6) ve ortalama düşük sa- yısı ise 2 olarak tespit edildi. Ortalama Faktör XII aktivitesi % 106.19±33.62 (90-200) bulundu. Hastaların %6,8'inde (n=10) faktör XII aktivitesi %60 dan küçük olarak bulundu. Faktör XII aktivitesi %35'in altında toplam 3 vaka vardı. %93,2 (n=135) hastada faktör XII aktivitesi %60'dan büyük olarak bulundu. Sonuç: Tekrarlayan düşükleri olan vakalarda rutin trombofilik faktörlerin araştırılması sırasında en azından aPTT ölçümünün- de yapılması tanı açısından faydalı olabilir. Uzamış aPTT si olan kadınlarda açıklayıcı bir sebep yoksa, her ne kadar nadir de olsa faktör XII bakılması önerilebilir.
