To compare the effect of heparin/aspirin therapy alone vs. heparin/aspirin in combination with intravenous immuno-globulin (IVIg) immunotherapy on in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcome of patients who test positive for antithyroid antibodies (ATAs).
Eighty-two women younger than 40 years of age whose infertility was related exclusively to female causes were evaluated. All tested positive for organ-specific antithyroid antibodies (antimicrosomal and/or antithyroglobulin antibodies), but negative for antiphospholipid antibodies. Thirty-seven of these women (group A) received H/A alone, whereas 45 (group B) received heparin/aspirin in combination with IVIg.
Ten (27%) of women in group A and 23 (51%) of women in group B achieved live births after completion of a single IVF/embryo transfer cycle (P = 0.027).
We conclude that IVIg therapy significantly improves IVF success rates in ATA+ women.
比较单独使用肝素/阿司匹林疗法与肝素/阿司匹林联合静脉注射免疫球蛋白(IVIg)免疫疗法对甲状腺自身抗体(ATA)检测呈阳性的患者体外受精(IVF)结局的影响。
评估了82名年龄小于40岁、不孕仅由女性因素引起的女性。所有患者器官特异性甲状腺自身抗体(抗微粒体和/或抗甲状腺球蛋白抗体)检测均呈阳性,但抗磷脂抗体检测呈阴性。其中37名女性(A组)仅接受肝素/阿司匹林治疗,而45名女性(B组)接受肝素/阿司匹林联合IVIg治疗。
A组10名(27%)女性和B组23名(51%)女性在完成单个IVF/胚胎移植周期后成功分娩(P = 0.027)。
我们得出结论,IVIg疗法可显著提高ATA阳性女性的IVF成功率。
