Abstract:
Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by the persistent presence of antiphospholipid antibodies, which are associated with thrombosis and pregnancy-related complications. APS may have adverse effects on female reproductive function by affecting ovarian function, endometrialization, and other mechanisms, and may lead to embryo implantation failure and pregnancy loss during in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) treatments. The routine screening and management of APS before IVF-ET in infertile populations remains controversial and requires individualized risk assessment and appropriate management measures to improve the success rate of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) and reduce maternal and fetal risks during pregnancy. This review summarizes the effects of APS on female infertility and outcomes of ART, as well as the management of the population affected by APS, providing new insights for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
