| Abstract: | A Miscarriage Clinic was set-up in the department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, in March, 1992 in order to provide a service for patients who have suffered at least two miscarriages. The service provides the chance for counselling and support for these patients together with a thorough investigation into the possible causes of the abortion. The investigations start with a detailed abortion history, blood tests: CBC, U&E&C, LFT, 75gms QGTT, APTT, a TFT and a day 2 and a day 21 hormone profile, torch screen and an auto-antibody profile. Anatomical anomalies are screened by salpingography and ultrasound. A karyotype on both patients is also carried out. By November 1995, 108 patients had been referred to the clinic the age range being 19 to 44 years. Of these 17 are currently still undergoing investigations and 12 have been lost to follow-up. |
