Mitochondrial M5 antibodies

Last week I saw a patient for pre-pregnancy counselling who has had 3 previous pregnancies complicated by very severe, early-onset eclampsia/preeclampsia requiring admission to ICU on 2 of these occasions. Only positive finding is mitochondrial M5 antibodies.

Does anyone have any sources for more information on this, or the possible protection that aspirin/heparin might afford. At present she has been strongly advised against further pregnancy.

Thanks,

Danny.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
