First trimester endocrinology: consequences for diagnosis and treatment of pregnancy failure

Abstract: First-trimester endocrinology is determined on the one hand by corpus luteum progesterone and estradiol biosynthesis and secretion and on the other hand by the time of onset and extent of progesterone and estradiol secretion by the placenta. This dual interplay is dominated by the corpus luteum placental shift, where a relative progesterone and estradiol deficiency can develop and may lead to early as well as late abortion. Measurements of serum progesterone and estradiol are mandatory in order to reveal such … Show more

“…As well as inducing secretory changes in the endometrium during the luteal phase that promote implantation and support early pregnancy [5,6], it modulates the maternal immune response to prevent foetal rejection [7] and relaxes the uterine smooth musculature [8]. Despite this physiological evidence, which has led to progestogens being used in the management of threatened miscarriage for many years, there is little data available from well designed and well controlled clinical trials to support their routine use in this indication [9].…”

“…Progesterone is required for implantation and correct pregnancy development [12]; later on in pregnancy, uterine muscle contractility and cervical structure are also dependent on adequate progesterone. The effect of progesterone on uterine muscle contractility is already seen in the first trimester, where a lack of progesterone leads to abortion whilst persistence of progesterone action does not [13].…”

“…Schwangerschaftswoche hin ab. Diese Leistungsbeschränkung des Corpus luteum graviditate ist durch die Messung und den Verlauf des 17a-Hydroxyprogesterons im Serum bestätigt worden, da die Plazenta keine 17a-Hydroxylase besitzt, so dass der weitere Anstieg des Progesterons im Verlauf der Schwangerschaft durch die plazentare Progesteronbiosynthese und -sekretion bedingt ist [15]. Dies ist klinisch durch viele Einzelberichte zwischen 1896 und 1972 dokumentiert worden [16].…”

“…Erhalt der Schwangerschaft beruht u. a. auf einer adäquaten Progesteronkonzentration im ersten Trimenon [15]. Da normaler Weise bei intakter Schwangerschaft im weiteren Verlauf der Schwangerschaft die Progesteronkonzentration ansteigt und erst gegen Ende der normalen Schwangerschaftsdauer in ein Plateau übergeht und dann abfällt, was mit Wehenbeginn und Entbindung endet, ist es nahe liegend eine Einflussnahme von Progesteron auf den Wehenbeginn anzunehmen.…”
