  2. Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase deficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methylenetetrahydrofolate...

    MTHFR is the rate-limiting enzyme in the methyl cycle, which includes the conversion of homocysteine into methionine. Defects in variants of MTHFR can therefore lead to hyperhomocysteinemia. [9] There are two common variants of MTHFR deficiency. In the more significant of the two, the individual is homozygous for the 677T polymorphism.

  3. Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methylenetetrahydrofolate...

    Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is the rate-limiting enzyme in the methyl cycle, and it is encoded by the MTHFR gene. [5] Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase catalyzes the conversion of 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate to 5-methyltetrahydrofolate , a cosubstrate for homocysteine remethylation to methionine .

  4. Thrombophilia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrombophilia

    Thrombophilia (sometimes called hypercoagulability or a prothrombotic state) is an abnormality of blood coagulation that increases the risk of thrombosis (blood clots in blood vessels). [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Such abnormalities can be identified in 50% of people who have an episode of thrombosis (such as deep vein thrombosis in the leg) that was not ...

    Compounding the pain is the fact that the pregnancy loss in November 2020 came 10 months after she had suffered a miscarriage. "There was so much anger and pain and sadness," she tells People ...

  6. Hypercoagulability in pregnancy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Hypercoagulability_in_pregnancy

    Pregnancy-induced hypercoagulability is probably a physiologically adaptive mechanism to prevent post partum hemorrhage. [1] Pregnancy changes the plasma levels of many clotting factors, such as fibrinogen, which can rise up to three times its normal value. [2] Thrombin levels increase. [3] Protein S, an anticoagulant, decreases.

  7. Antiphospholipid syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiphospholipid_syndrome

    Antiphospholipid syndrome is known for causing arterial or venous blood clots, in any organ system, and pregnancy-related complications.While blood clots and pregnancy complications are the most common and diagnostic symptoms associated with APS, other organs and body parts may be affected like platelet levels, heart, kidneys, brain, and skin.

  8. Gestational thrombocytopenia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gestational_thrombocytopenia

    Gestational thrombocytopenia will become evident during the mid-second trimester through the third trimester of pregnancy and it is diagnosed based on exclusion. [2] For example, women with a history of immune thrombocytopenia or thrombocytopenia, prior to pregnancy, will not be diagnosed with gestational thrombocytopenia. [2]

  9. Hypodysfibrinogenemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypodysfibrinogenemia

    The disorder can lead to very significant bleeding during even minor surgical procedures and women afflicted with the disorder often suffer significant bleeding during and after giving child birth, higher rates of miscarriages, and menorrhagia, i.e. abnormally heavy bleeding during the menstrual period.
