More than half of recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) remains unexplained. We hypothesized that women with a history unexplained RPL (URPL) have low venous reserve.Case-control study in 12 URPL, 11 healthy nulliparous controls and primiparous uncomplicated pregnancy. To quantify reserve, we measured plasma volume (PV, ml/m(2)) compliance forearm calf (VC(arm), VC(calf), (ml/dl)/mmHg) during the follicular phase menstrual cycle. Mean arterial blood pressure (mmHg) was by oscillometry. Arterial...

Design Experimental case–control pilot study. Setting University medical centre in the Netherlands. Population Twelve loss, 11 nulliparous 19 primiparous a history of uncomplicated pregnancies.
