Importants of critical selection of recurrent pregnancy loss patients for successful immunotherapy M. H. Özörnek, B. Mikat-Drodzdynski, U. Koldovsky Dept. OB&GYN, Heinrich Heine University, Düsseldorf, Germany
Conditions for ImmunotherapyUniversity of Düsseldorf • Primary recurrent pregnancy loss • Absence of "classical" abortion reasons • Absence of an autoimmune pathology • negativ APCA and EAI tests • negativ infection parameters (HIV,HBs-Ag,Anti HCV,TPHA,CMV)
Immunodiagnostik • Antipaternal Cytotoxic Antibody (APCA) [cross-match] A test for prooving the presence of cytotoxic antibodies in patient serum against partner lymphocytes • Erythrocyt Antibody Rosette Inhibition (EAI) Test A test for prooving the Fc receptor blocking antibodies
Conclusion • If RPL is primary, • If all losses are in 1. Trimester, • If there are no autoimmune antibodies, • If both EAI and APCA tests are negativ Immunization is a realistic therapy!
