[Influence of thrombophilia in women with recurrent miscarriage: pros and cons].
Recurrent miscarriage is a heterogeneous condition. A large number of studies have suggested a significant role for inherited and acquired thrombophilia in the development of abortion. Preliminary case-control studies and one prospective trial suggest that low molecular weight heparin is effective in preventing pregnancy loss in women with thrombophilia and previous recurrent miscarriage.
