| Abstract | ||
| Introduction: Recurrent miscarriage is an important health issue. It is defined loss of three or more consecutive pregnancies. It has multifactorial causes. Platelets (PLT) are generally known as a marker for inflammation and thrombosis. Aim: This work aimed to find the association between platelet indices and recurrent unexplained miscarriage. Materials and Methods: This study was a case control study conducted at Ain Shams University Maternity Hospital (ASUMH) recruiting women from the outpatient clinic and the recurrent pregnancy loss clinic over the period from December 2018 to August 2019. Group A included 35 women with recurrent miscarriage (RM), Group B included 35 women without history of miscarriage and delivered at least once. Platelet count and indices were measured in both groups and statistical analysis was done. Results: In the current study, there was no statistically significant difference between the cases and controls as regard PLT count, plateletcrit (PCT), mean platelet volume (MPV), and platelet distribution width (PDW). Conclusion: Platelet indices are not useful as predictor for recurrent miscarriage. | ||
