Colony Granulocyte Stimulating Factor (G-CSF)
The Treatment of Multiple Miscarriages with G-CSF
G-CSF is a cell-signaling protein molecule that increases the number of good quality eggs during an in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle. Recent studies have shown that the best quality eggs come from the follicles with the highest level of G-CSF. Patients with recurrent pregnancy loss that have been treated with G-CSF have shown higher pregnancy rates with no risk to mother or baby. You may be a candidate for G-CSF treatment if:
•You have experienced recurrent miscarriages that have failed IVIG, LIT and meet immunologic criteria for treatment
•You have experienced repeat failed IVF implantation of good quality embryos (also must meet certain immunologic criteria)
G-CSF is one of many treatments for multiple miscarriages. If you have experienced recurrent pregnancy loss, contact Dr. Braverman for qualified advice and guidance. He is certified by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology, and has treated patients suffering from multiple miscarriages for over two decades. He is also a published author in the field of high risk obstetrics, and has been featured on television and radio shows on reproductive immunology and fertility.
