The Effect of G-CSF on Infertile Women Undergoing IVF Treatment
Journal Title: Reproductive Immunology: Open Access - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
We read with interest the research by Xu et al. [1] exploring the efficacy of intrauterine instillation granulocyte colonystimulating factor (G-CSF) for thin endometrium. Compared with the control group, significantly higher embryo implantation and clinical pregnancy rates were observed in the G-CSF group (31.5% vs. 13.9%; 48.1% vs. 25.0%; respectively). Around the same time, reported similar pregnancy outcomes [2]. However, Li et al. failed to demonstrate that G-CSF had the potency to improve the pregnancy outcomes of the infertile women with thin endometrium [3]. In spite of these different results, the increases of endometrial thickness were not significantly different in all of the above researches.
