Steroid treatment can prevent a third of miscarriagesA course of steroids may all that be required to help some women who have suffered repeated miscarriages or failed IVF treatments, as per a conference in Liverpool in the UK.

This research was presented at the British Association conference and suggested that many of the 3,000 unexplained miscarriages every year can be prevented with the use of steroids.

Dr. Siobhan Quenby, of the University of Liverpool and the Liverpool Women’s Hospital said that tests involving 120 women had ascertained natural killer cells as a cause of miscarriages and failed IVF embryo implants.

From News-Medical.Net:

Steroids prescribed to 40 women, who had suffered multiple miscarriages, resulted in three quarters of them successfully giving birth.

The steroid treatment has been shown to reduce the level of natural killer cells in the uterus, and this is thought to increase the chances of an embryo going to full term.

Dr. Quenby says currently there is no treatment for the thousands of women around the world who are desperate because they keep miscarrying for no reason.

She says there is a massive and desperate need for a treatment and suggests that a third of miscarriages could be prevented.

Dr. Quenby, in partnership with the Miscarriage Association, is looking for 40 women with a history of miscarriages and high levels of natural killer cells to take part in a trial.
