ABSTRACT
Background: The definition of recurrent pregnancy loss varies
according different authors and consensus: the American Society for
Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) defines RPL when two or more pregnancy
losses occur, and the European Society of Human Reproduction
and Embryology (ESHRE) defines it as three or more pregnancy losses,
not necessarily intrauterine. To this day, there is no uniform approach
that serves as a guide in the diagnosis and treatment of this condition;
this is why, in up to 50% of the cases of RPL, it will not be possible to
identify the specific etiology.
Objetive: To report on the recurrent pregnancy loss, in order to
harmonize concepts and suggest a diagnosis and treatment for this
condition approach.
Method: The search strategy included, but was not limited to keywords
like:
recurrent abortion, infertility, habitual abortion, primary antiphospholipid
syndrome, lupus anticoagulant, anti-cardiolipin antibodies
and anti B2 glycoprotein I.
