Antiphospholipid antibodies and idiopathic infertility.

A careful selection of patients allowed us to confirm that women affected by idiopathic infertility show a high prevalence of aPL, suggesting that these autoantibodies can also affect conception. Considering pregnancy complications and thrombotic risk related to ovarian stimulation, measuring aPL can represent a valid tool to identify among infertile women undergoing ART those at higher risk of pregnancy complications potentially life-threatening for mother and the fetus. In such patients, an accurate diagnosis and an adequate therapy are related to a better ART outcome.
