Role of immunity indices of pregnant women for prognosis of fetoplacental insufficiency development

A study was conducted to determine cytokines in patients in the second trimester of pregnancy. It was found that the immune disorders in the presence of signs of chronic fetoplacental insufficiency (FPN) are manifested by an increase in TNF-a production and a simultaneous decrease in IL-4, IL-10, IL-13 cytokines, which proves their role in predicting the probable risk of FPN development.

Habitual spontaneous abortion

A habitual spontaneous abortion is a frequent pathology of pregnancy, which has serious psychological consequences.

Swelling in pregnant women

Edema in pregnant women is in vain considered inevitable and typical phenomenon accompanying the period of pregnancy. As well as swelling in women who do not plan to give birth, in men who are not going to become fathers, edema in a pregnant woman is a sign of uncharacteristic changes and possible diseases in the body.

Autoimmune disorders in pregnancy

Chorioamnionitis

Chorioamnionitis is an infection of the chorion and amnion, usually occurring at the time of delivery. Chorioamnionitis can be the result of an ascending infection through the genital tract.

Bumpy drift

A bladder is a proliferation of trophoblast tissue in pregnant women or women who have recently had a pregnancy. Manifestations of the disease can include excessive expansion of the uterus, vomiting, vaginal bleeding and pre-eclampsia, especially in the early stages of pregnancy.

Placental abruption

Detachment of the placenta - premature separation of the normally located placenta in late pregnancy. Signs of this pathology may be bleeding from the vagina, pain and soreness of the uterus, hemorrhagic shock and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DVS).

Fetal erythroblastosis

Fetal erythroblastosis is a hemolytic anemia in a fetus or newborn caused by transplacental transmission of maternal antibodies to fetal erythrocytes.

Ectopic pregnancy

Ectopic pregnancy can not be tolerated before the term and, eventually, interrupted or regressed. In ectopic pregnancy, implantation occurs outside the uterine cavity - in the fallopian tube (in its intramural region), in the cervix, in the ovary, in the abdominal cavity, or in the small pelvis.

Postpartum hemorrhage

Postpartum hemorrhage is a loss of blood of more than 500 ml during or immediately after the third stage of labor. The diagnosis is made on the basis of clinical data. Treatment consists of uterine massage and intravenous administration of oxytocin, sometimes in combination with injections of 15-methyl prostaglandin F2a or methyl-ergonovin.
