ABSTRACT

Aims Recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) is one of the most common problems ‎experienced during pregnancy. Immunologic factors, particularly autoimmunity, ‎are contributing to the outcomes of pregnancy in the patients with RSA. ‎Autoimmune antibodies can have a detrimental effect on the placenta and on the ‎fetus and lead to abortion. Therefore, the objective of this study was to compare ‎the serum levels of anti-peroxiredoxin 3 (Anti-Prx3) and anti-peroxiredoxin 4 ‎‎(anti-Prx4) antibodies in the patients with a history of RSA and healthy women‏.‏
Materials & Methods This case-control study was conducted on 100 females with a history of at least ‎three RSA as the case group and 32 healthy women with at least two successful ‎pregnancies without any abortion as the control group in Sarem women hospital ‎‎(Tehran, Iran). The serum levels of anti-Prx3 and anti-Prx4 were measured in the ‎groups using ELISA method. The data were analyzed by Mann-Whitney U test ‎using SPSS software.‎
Findings The level of anti-Prx4 in patients with RSA was significantly higher than control ‎group (p=0.004). However, there was no statistically difference in the level of ‎anti-Prx3 between patients with RSA and healthy women (p=0.51).‎
Conclusion The serum level of anti-Prx3‎‏ ‏autoantibody in the patients with RSA and healthy ‎women is not different, while the serum level of anti-Prx4‎‏ ‏autoantibody in the ‎patients with a history of RSA is higher than that of healthy women.‎
