Objective: To investigate the incidence and etiology of pregnancy complications associated with thrombophilic factors. Methods: Fifty-four patients with complicated pregnancy and 40 healthy pregnant subjects were included the study. Factor V Leiden (FVL) mutation, protein S, protein C, anti-thrombin deficiency levels were investigated. Results: Of the 54 patients with complicated pregnancy, 29 had preeclampsia, 18 had intra uterine growth retardation, and 7 had intrauterine fetal loss. The most common defect was FVL mutation. FVL mutations in patient group and the control group were 27.2% and 10%, respectively, which were statistically significant. The protein S, protein C, and anti-thrombin deficiencies were found higher in the patient group compared to control (p>0.05 for each). Conclusion: FVL mutation was found higher in patient group compared to the control group, Protein C deficiency and anti-thrombin deficiency were related to preeclampsia but not other pregnancy complications. Clinicians should take into account the thrombophilia in complicated pregnancy, especially preeclampsia. J Clin Exp Invest 2013; 4 (4): 497-502

Komplikasyonlu gebeliklerde trombofili

Amaç: Gebelik komplikasyonlarında trombofilik faktörlerin görülme sıklığını ve etiyolojideki yerinin araştırılması. Yöntemler: Komplikasyonlu gebeliği olan 54 hasta ve sağlıklı 40 gebe olgu çalışma kapsamına dahil edildi. Faktör V Leiden (FVL) mutasyonu, protein S, protein C, anti-trombin eksiklikleri araştırıldı. Bulgular: Komplike gebeliği olan 54 hastanın 29\'unda preeklampsi, 18\'inde intrauterin büyüme geriliği ve 7 olguda ise intrauterin fetal kayıp saptandı. En sık gözlenen bozukluk FVL mutasyonu idi. FVL mutasyonu hasta ve kontrol gruplarında sırasıyla %27,2 ve %10 olup istatistiksel olarak anlamlı idi. Protein S, protein C, anti-trombin eksiklikleri hasta grubunda kontrol grubuna göre daha yüksek oranda gözlense de anlamlılık saptanmadı (p>0,05). Sonuç: FVL mutasyonu hasta grubunda kontrol grubuna göre yüksek bulundu. Protein C ve anti-trombin eksiklikleri diğer gebelik komplikasyonlarından ziyade preeklampsi ile ilişkili bulunmuştur. Klinisyenler başta preeklampsi olmak üzere komplike gebeliklerde trombofiliyi göz önünde bulundurmalıdırlar.
