[Cardiolipin antibodies in pregnancy of high risk].

Cardiolipin IgG and IgM antibodies (CAb) were studied in 116 cases of high-risk pregnancy. All the women were undergoing examination or treatment in regional perinatal center. CAb occurred more frequently in antenatal fetal death (50%). In blood hypertension, habitual abortions, history of infertility, gestational gestosis, CAb were encountered in 21.4, 20, 20 and 15.2% of cases, respectively. Intrauterine growth retardation was associated with CAb in 33.3% of cases. CAb occurred in pregnant women of different groups who had high uterine vascular resistance. The above findings indicate CAb contribution to genesis of gestational complications in high risk pregnancy.
