Bilan hématologique en cas de fausses couches précoces à répétition : quelles évidences ?

Recurrent miscarriages have a major psychological and somatic impact, as well as a significant economic burden. An etiological work-up should be offered after two or three miscarriages, the threshold varying from one scientific society to another. However, the proposed biological work-up must be justified by scientific evidence. A simple blood count, basic coagulation tests including fibrinogen assay and anti-phospholipid antibodies testing should be performed initially. Hereditary thrombophilia testing should only be carried out if there is a history of maternal thrombosis. In the event of an abnormality, management should be multidisciplinary, and the prescription of medication should follow recommended guidelines. Prophylactic treatment is not justified in the absence of a known etiology.
