Obstetric antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS), is well defined by classification criteria. It is well known that women with APS should receive prophylactic anticoagulation therapy with subcutaneous low weight heparin all throughout pregnancy and in the first 6 weeks postpartum. However, the optimal treatment for pregnant women having positive anti-phospholipid antibodies, but not fulfilling classification criteria for APS is still unclear. In this retrospective study we report pregnancy outcomes of 10 patients affected by recurrent miscarriages and positive anti-cardiolipin or aβ2GP1 antibodies with titers ranging from 10 to 20 GPL/MPL demonstrated at least twice before pregnancy.

Abstract
Obstetric antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS), is well defined by classification criteria. It is well known that women with APS should receive prophylactic anticoagulation therapy with subcutaneous low weight heparin all throughout pregnancy and in the first 6 weeks postpartum. However, the optimal treatment for pregnant women having positive anti-phospholipid antibodies, but not fulfilling classification criteria for APS is still unclear. In this retrospective study we report pregnancy outcomes of 10 patients affected by recurrent miscarriages and positive anti-cardiolipin or aβ2GP1 antibodies with titers ranging from 10 to 20 GPL/MPL demonstrated at least twice before pregnancy.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
