Increased peripheral blood natural killer (NK) cells are associated to immune-mediated abortion, but their diagnostic value when measured at the time of miscarriage is unknown.
In women with therapeutic (A = 79) or elective (C = 34) pregnancy termination, the NK-cell percentage was measured before and 5 days after curettage. Additionally, immune-mediated lesions (scored 0-3) and CD56(+) and CD16(+) decidual NKs (scored 1-3) were detected on the abortion material.
Aborters differed from controls in histological scores (P = 0.000) and in NK percentage (>12%) only in the measurement 5 days after the operation (P = 0.038). In comparison to histological lesions, NK measurement was found to have sensitivity 70%, specificity 73.68%, positive prognostic value 89.39% and negative prognostic value 43.75%.
An Increased NK-cell percentage 5 days after the pregnancy termination could be a marker of immune aetiology of miscarriage, as the probability of an aborter with NK >12% to have an immune-mediated abortion is almost 90%.
外周血自然杀伤(NK)细胞增多与免疫介导的流产有关,但流产时检测其诊断价值尚不清楚。
在接受治疗性(A组 = 79例)或选择性(C组 = 34例)终止妊娠的女性中,在刮宫术前及术后5天测量NK细胞百分比。此外,在流产组织中检测免疫介导的病变(评分0 - 3分)以及CD56(+)和CD16(+)蜕膜NK细胞(评分1 - 3分)。
流产者与对照组在组织学评分(P = 0.000)以及仅在术后5天的NK细胞百分比(>12%)方面存在差异(P = 0.038)。与组织学病变相比,NK细胞检测的敏感性为70%,特异性为73.68%,阳性预测值为89.39%,阴性预测值为43.75%。
妊娠终止后5天NK细胞百分比升高可能是流产免疫病因的一个标志物,因为NK>12%的流产者发生免疫介导流产的概率近90%。
