Left Sided Atrophic Kidney and Raised APLA in Association with Arcuate Uterus
Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction: The kidney is the most frequently involved organ in APS (antiphospholipid syndrome) leading to small atrophic kidney. Arcuate uterus has a single cavity with a convex or flat uterine fundus. The endometrium demonstrates a small fundal cleft or impression (>1.5 cm). Arcuate uterus is the most commonly found uterine anomaly in HSG and is sometimes responsible for causing repeated abortions and infertility. Case report: A 39 year old female patient presented with secondary infertility and a history of repeated miscarriages. Investigations showed left sided atrophic kidney and raised antiphospholipid antibodies. HSG revealed arcuate uterus. Conclusion: Raised APLA lead to atrophic kidney and frequent abortions. Co-existence of unilateral cystic atrophic kidney and arcuate uterus could be attributed to urogenital anomaly, contributing to repeated abortion.
