Are igG-antiphospholipid antibodies in follicular fluid of IVF-ET patients related to low fertilization rate of their oocytes?
The presence of IgG aPL in FFs and increased infertility length were significantly related to lower fertilization rates, independently. Follicular fluid IgG aPL appears as a risk factor in association with successful IVF-ET outcomes.
Liver disease predisposes for low TPO serum levels and mild thrombocytopenia. High retroviral activity predisposes for severe, immune thrombocytopenic purpura-like thrombocytopenia. At least two distinct categories of severe HIV-associated thrombocytopenia exist, one responsive to antiretroviral treatment and one non-responsive to antiretroviral treatment.
