Özet
Objective: The finding that ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) is increased in pre-eclamptic pregnancy suggests a role for IMA as a potential biomarker for abnormal placental development related to miscarriage. This study was undertaken to evaluate IMA levels in women with recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). Study design: This case-control study was performed between March 2008 and September 2009, at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Meram School of Medicine. Serum IMA and albumin concentrations were assessed in 43 women with a history of two or more unexplained first trimester miscarriages (group 1), and 42 healthy pregnant women (group 2) in the first trimester. IMA, adjusted IMA and albumin concentrations were compared between the groups. Statistical analysis was performed using Student's t-test and Mann-Whitney U test. Results: IMA and adjusted IMA levels were significantly higher in women with RPL (1.11 + 0.08 and 1.09 + 0.09, respectively) compared to women in group 2 (0.88 + 0.10 and 0.88 + 0.11, respectively). Albumin levels in group 1 were significantly lower compared with group 2. There was a negative correlation between IMAand albumin levels in each group. Conclusion: Maternal IMA levels appear to be elevated in women with early RPL This finding may suggest that an abnormally high hypoxic intrauterine environment may be associated with abnormal placental development that contributes to early miscarriage.
