Miscarriage is a common occurrence in the life cycle of the woman. Exactly how common this experience is not known exactly. Pregnancy is a complicated physiological process that might lead to negative outcomes and could threaten the women`s life or the fetus. Current literature suggests that the cause of RM is only identifiable in up to 40%-50% of cases. Women with Factor V Leiden, prothrombin and methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase mutation have been linking to an increased risk of early, late, and recurrent pregnancy loss. The aim of this review is to highlight the most common infections in Pregnancy and their Linked to Miscarriage.
Thalassemia is a blood disorder passed down through families (inherited) in which the body makes an abnormal form or inadequate amount of hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. The disorder results in large numbers of red blood cells being destroyed, which leads to anemia. This abnormal alpha- to beta-chain ratio causes the unpaired chains to precipitate and causes destruction of red blood cell precursors in the bone marrow (ineffective erythropoiesis) and circulation (hemolysis). Affected individuals with thalassemia have variable degrees of anemia and extramedullary hematopoiesis, which in turn can cause bone changes, impaired growth, and iron overload. Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), also known as recurrent miscarriages, is defined by the consecutive loss of two or more pregnancies with the same partner and having no more than one living child. Objective of the current review was to determine the maternal and fetal outcomes of women complicated with thalassemia .Conclusion: There are many changes as complications of thalassemia and the stress of pregnancy can make the symptoms of thalassemia worse . pregnancy in thalassemia should be considered high risk and should always be preceded by a complete preconception assessment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
