Autoimmune Disorders and Thrombophilia in Pathologic Pregnancies: Management Throughout the Full Gestation

Pathologic pregnancies including recurrent pregnancy loss, stillbirth, early-onset pre-eclampsia and early-onset fetal growth restriction form a continuous spectrum throughout gestation and have attracted wide attention. Autoimmune disorders and associated acquired thrombophilia are key etiological factors. However, because of the complicated associations between various clinical manifestations, laboratory examinations and treatments, the management of pathologic pregnancies with autoimmune disorders and associated acquired thrombophilia are difficult. This viewpoint article presents a comprehensive full gestation management strategy emphasizing early identification and multidisciplinary management to improve pregnancy outcomes in these patients. Future research should focus on novel biomarkers, therapeutic methods and crosstalk mechanisms between autoimmune disorders and thrombophilia to optimize clinical strategies.
