Estimation of homo-cysteine level and its relationship with some biochemical variables in aborted women

Abstract

Homo cysteine is an amino acid that contains sulfur, which is (2_amino_4_ mercaptobiotanic), which is derived from the metabolism of methionine as an essential acid that is metabolized by the methylation pathway, or the transport of sulfur, and any defect in these two pathways leads to an increase in the level of homocysteine in the blood. The aim of the study was to assess the level of homocysteine in women who had miscarriages compared to pregnant and non-pregnant women. The study included (92) samples of women whose ages ranged between (15-47) years and consisted of (31) samples of women with abortion. The patients were compared with (31) samples from pregnant women (30) samples from Unmarried and pregnant women as a control group. Samples were obtained. Blood from the reviews in Salah El-Din General Hospital. The groups of aborted, pregnant and non-pregnant women were divided into two age groups, the first from (15-25) and the second category (26-47). The relationship between the group of miscarriages and the group of pregnant women and non-pregnant women was studied by studying the variables that include the concentration of homocysteine and vitamin D, and the results showed a significant increase in the abortion patients with a probability level P≤0.05 in the concentration of homocysteine when compared with pregnant and non-pregnant women in addition to the increase in the concentration of homocysteine. With age in women who have abortions than pregnant and non-pregnant women. In the study sample, it was also found that there was a significant decrease in the level of vitamin D in the blood of miscarried women as well as pregnant women compared to non-pregnant women at a level of P 0.01.
