Case Report
Thyroid Antibody Associated Recurrent Spontaneous Abortion
Author(s): Radhika Tirumala and Rosalind A HayesRadhika Tirumala and Rosalind A Hayes
Background: Recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) remains unexplained in about 50% of cases after a
standard evaluation. A subset of unexplained RSA may be thyroid antibody associated recurrent spontaneous abortion (TAARSA).
Cases: The three cases illustrate TAARSA with elevated thyroid antibodies and a euthyroid state. Treatment with low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) and low dose aspirin (LDA) was associated with live birth.
Conclusions: A subset of previously unexplained RSA may be identified as TAARSA. Treatment may prevent
future pregnancy loss.
