There are many causes of pregnancy termination, especially in cases of recurrent pregnancy loss. Determining the cause requires an individual approach to each couple and a series of specific medical examinations.

Today, we will take a closer look at one of the possible causes of pregnancy loss — hyperhomocysteinemia.

Hyperhomocysteinemia. It represents an important risk factor for the development of various diseases and complications. Among them is an increased likelihood of thrombosis in both the maternal and fetal circulatory systems, which may lead to adverse pregnancy outcomes.

During early stages of pregnancy Hyperhomocysteinemia promotes pregnancy loss by interfering with implantation, due to reduced blood flow in the endometrial vasculature.

During late stages of pregnancy Various complications may develop, such as gestational diabetes, pregnancy-induced hypertension, preeclampsia, preterm labor, intrauterine growth restriction, and others.

Therefore, it is extremely important to identify the causes of pregnancy loss, to plan the pregnancy properly, to ensure appropriate medical preparation, and to manage the achieved pregnancy under the supervision of a qualified specialist.
