Sodobni pogled na etiopatogenezo endometrioze = Contemporary view on ethiopathogenesis of endometriosisKovačević, Nina, 1985- ; Košir-Pogačnik, Renata, dr. med. ; Meden-Vrtovec, HelenaBackground Endometriosis is an estrogen dependent disease that affects 5-10% of women in reproductive age. Several theories tend to describe the ethiopathogenesis of the disease. One of them is based ... on menstrual regurgitation, the second is metaplasia of coelomic epithelium and the third is theory of vascular and lymphatic embolisation. None of these theories manage to explain all types and locations of endometriosis. Nowadays, prevailing opinion about endometriosis is based on presumption, that endometriosis is a result of changed immune system, that is autoimmune theory.Characteristics of autoimmune disease that are also found in endometriosis are female preponderance, multiorgan involvement, family occurence, possible genetic basis, response to hormonal manipulation, tissue damage, polyclonal B lymphocite activation, immunological abnormalities in T lymphocite and B lymphocite function and associated autoimmune disease. Onset of the disease is influenced by different biochemical and cellular compositionof peritoneal fluid, local and systemic immune response and characteristics of regurgitated endometrium. After invasion of endometrial cells into peritoneal cavity the cells implant. Modified composition of peritoneal fluid which comprise greater amount of angiogenic substances enables the implantation. Endometriotic cells in peritoneal cavity represent autologic foreign body. The role of immune system is to eliminate the foreign body, what does not occur in women with endometriosis. Humoral immunity is important in modifying acivity of B cells and secretion of autoantibodies is higher. Conclusions Autoimmune theory represents a challenge and at the same time opens the possibility of a new mode of treatement of endometriosis with immunomodulators.Source: Zdravniški vestnik : glasilo Slovenskega zdravniškega društva = Slovenian medical journal = journal of Slovenian Medical Association. - ISSN 1318-0347 (Letn. 78, št. 6/7, jun.-jul. 2009, str. 315-319)Type of material - article, component partPublish date - 2009Language - slovenianCOBISS.SI-ID - 25972185
