Anticardiolipin antibodies in ectopic pregnancies

European Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology and Reproductive Biology, 2001
Anticardiolipin auto-antibodies are known to be inflicted in recurrent pregnancy losses and other adverse outcomes of pregnancy. However, their role in extrauterine pregnancies is unknown.To clarify the association between anticardiolipin antibodies and extrauterine pregnancies.About 30 patients with ectopic pregnancies confirmed histologically and 40 ...

Prenatal Screening for Anticardiolipin Antibody

American Journal of Perinatology, 1990
Anticardiolipin antibodies, immunoglobulin G, and M (IgG, IgM) have been associated with recurrent abortion and with maternal death. This study tested whether anticardiolipin titers would be a useful prenatal screening test to determine high-risk pregnancies. Titers were obtained at the first clinic visit in 686 patients, mean gestation, 20 weeks.

Anticardiolipin Antibodies in Behçet's Disease

The Journal of Dermatology, 1990
AbstractTwenty‐six patients with Behçet's disease were studied for serum levels of anticardiolipin (ACL) antibody isotypes IgG and IgM. The frequency of elevated levels of ACL antibody isotype IgM was found to be significantly increased in these patients.

Anticardiolipin Antibodies and Polyarteritis Nodosa

Lupus, 1994
A patient with biopsy-diagnosed polyarteritis nodosa showed central nervous system (CNS) involvement and evidence of intrathecal synthesis of immunoglobulins, coincident with very high serum levels of anticardiolipin antibodies (aCL). Cerebral angiography was normal. We suggest that aCL could be directly implicated in the CNS damage.

Buerger's disease and anticardiolipin antibodies

Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine, 2009
Thromboangiitis obliterans or Buerger's disease is an occlusive, inflammatory, nonatherosclerotic vascular disease of unknown etiology, which affects mainly the small and medium arteries, veins and nerves. Anticardiolipin antibodies are associated with arterial and venous thrombosis, repetitive miscarriages and thrombocytopenia.

Functional Effects of Anticardiolipin Antibodies

Lupus, 1996
The ‘lupus anticoagulant’ phenomenon is the best documented functional effect of antiphospholipid (aPL) antibodies, occurring either by inhibition of the prothrombinase and/or Factor X activation reactions. Understanding the mechanism by which aPL antibodies inhibit phospholipid dependent coagulation reactions may yield important clues about their ...

Anticardiolipin antibodies in hemodialysis patients

Transplantation Proceedings, 1999
END-STAGE renal disease (ESRD) patients are known to have a higher frequency of elevated anticardiolipin antibodies (aCL) compared with the general population. The prevalence of elevated aCL in hemodialysis (HD) patients exceeds that of ESRD patients who are on conservative treatment.

Anticardiolipin Antibodies and Ocular Disease

Ocular Immunology and Inflammation, 2005
This paper reviews anticardiolipin antibodies and ocular disease. Its aim is to present the latest knowledge regarding the relationship between the two. It focuses mainly on ocular features and treatment, but also describes the epidemiology, main systemic features, immunology, and immunopathology of the antiphospholipid syndrome.

ANTICARDIOLIPIN ANTIBODIES IN RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS

Rheumatology, 1987
Anticardiolipin antibody (ACA) was present in the sera of 49% of 90 consecutive patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The ACA was absent in 30 control patients with osteoarthritis. C-reactive protein levels equal to or exceeding 7 mg/dl were found in 10 patients all of whom were ACA positive.
