El. knyga: IVF in the Medically Complicated Patient: A Guide to Management 2nd edition [Taylor & Francis e-book]

Researchers in reproductive medicine and other medical specialties consider patients seeking assisted reproduction--specifically in vitro fertilization (IVF)--who have health problems in other areas that need to be taken into account. The topics include the patient at risk from thrombosis, autoimmune disease, inflammatory bowel disease, obesity, polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis, congenital uterine abnormalities, Turners's syndrome, the couple testing positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and international travel and vaccinations for the IVF patient.

Each patient seeking assisted reproduction has a unique set of circumstances that affects the outcome of treatment. Particularly challenging are those patients with pre-existing medical conditions or those receiving medical therapies that may impact the safety and success of their IVF treatments. Prior identification and preparation of the patient at increased risk of complications will enable the clinician to avoid problems in advance, anticipate the necessary management, and optimize outcomes. A new expanded edition of the prize-winning text IVF in the Medically Complicated Patient: A Guide to Management, Second Edition provides a readily accessible, authoritative, and didactic source of information to aid clinicians in this important field.
