IVF Screening Panel

Summary
Women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) for treatment of infertility not due solely to male factor have an increased prevalence of immunologic risk factors. Thus, women with a female factor or unexplained infertility are screened prior to starting an IVF cycle to rule out a treatable cause of potential implantation failure.

Women with endometriosis, pelvic adhesions, unexplained infertility, secondary infertility after a history of recurrent spontaneous miscarriages and family history of autoimmune disease should be screened with a minimum of the routine screening tests. However, depending upon the patient history, immunologic testing should be individualized. Some patients may require additional testing. Women who have had a cumulative 8 or more embryos transferred or 4 or more blastocysts transferred without successful pregnancy should have evaluation with the Implantation Failure Panel (below).

Panel Tests Included
Anti-phospholipid antibodies (APA), anti-thyroid antibodies (ATA) and NK activation assay (NKa).
