Prévalence et caractéristiques de l’auto-immunité sérique chez les patientes suivies pour infertilité au CHU de Grenoble

Résumé

Introduction: Fertility disorders in autoimmune diseases are well described. However, little is known about the presence of a humoral serum autoimmunity in case of infertility (antinuclear antibodies, ACAN or antiphospholipid, APL) without criteria of autoimmune disease. Methods: We studied the prevalence, associated factors, and efficacy of immunomodulatory therapy in patients with unexplained infertility. Two groups were created retrospectively among patients followed in medically assisted procreation (PMA) for infertility: a group with serum autoimmunity (AI+) (ACAN, APL or anti-thyroperoxidase antibodies) and a group without serum autoimmunity (HAVE-). Clinical, biological, and therapeutic data were collected. Results: The prevalence of autoimmunity was 33% among consultant patients. One hundred patients were seen in internal medicine consultation, 70 were included in the AI+ group and 30 in the AI- group. In the AI+ group, 76% had ACANs, 29% had anti-TPOs and 23% had APLs. There was a significant correlation between ACAN level and the presence of endometriosis (P=0.048). Immunomodulatory therapy was introduced for 68 of the 70 women in the AI+ group; pregnancy occurred in 28 patients (40%) during the treatment period, compared with 7 in the "AI-" group (23%), with a tendency to significance (P=0.09). In conclusion, there is an increased prevalence of serum autoimmunity in patients with fertility disorders, possibly with the efficacy of an immunomodulatory treatment to confront prospective therapeutic studies.
