Reproductive Immunology

Treatment for reproductive immunology is very much in its infancy. It has been clearly shown that a woman who has persistent miscarriage with antiphospholipid antibodies (aPLs) can dramatically improve their live-birth rate if they are given blood thinners with aspirin and heparin injections.
 

If natural killer cells are identified which significantly reduce the chances of conception, then there are three interventions that can be used to help the body to accept the sperm and the implantation in the womb – these include steroid, intralipid infustions and IVIg.
 

Treatment for reproductive immunology is far from an exact science. However, it does help to eliminate possibilities and its success rates for those with recurrent miscarriages have proven to be worthwhile.
