Examples
Thrombophilia screening, which included testing for lupus anticoagulant and anticardiolipin antibodies (IgG and IgM), was also conducted, with all findings within normal ranges.
However, there is neither a standardized preconception screening program for genetic thrombophilia nor effective monitoring of the hemostatic system during state-funded IVF cycles.
