Usha from Edmonton asks: Are there rheumatology tests for multiple miscarriages?

Miscarriage can be associated with some rheumatic conditions, although most people will have symptoms of them besides miscarriage itself.  The other rheumatic condition which can manifest through miscarriage is something called antiphospholipid antibody syndrome.  It is possible to be tested for these antibodies and if positive, there are recommendations for treatment to lower the risk of subsequent pregnancy loss.
