What is Lymphocyte Immunization Therapy?

Lymphocyte Immunization Therapy (LIT) is a highly specialized form of immunotherapy designed to increase the success rate of in-vitro fertilization (IVF) in women who have experienced multiple miscarriages.

The therapy involves injecting the mother with paternal lymphocytes to create an immune response that improves the chances of a successful pregnancy.

The Process:

1. Step 1: Blood Sample Collection
   The first step is collecting a blood sample from the father, which contains paternal lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell that plays a vital role in the body’s immune response.
2. Step 2: Lymphocyte Isolation
   The next stage involves isolating the paternal lymphocytes from the blood sample and processing them to ensure viability before being injected into the mother.
3. Step 3: Immunization
   The mother is then infused with the processed paternal lymphocytes, which triggers an immune response as the lymphocytes are foreign cells.
4. Step 4: Follow-up
   The patient is monitored regularly for any side effects or complications. The therapy is continued regularly to ensure an optimal immune response to improve the chances of a successful pregnancy.

Benefits of Lymphocyte Immunization Therapy:

1. Increased Chances of Successful Pregnancy:
   The LIT therapy improves the chances of a successful pregnancy after recurrent miscarriages by creating a more conducive environment for embryo implantation and ensuring better fetal growth.
2. Minimal Invasive Procedure:
   The procedure is minimally invasive, safe, and involves no hormonal treatments.
3. Compatibility:
   The LIT therapy is compatible with other fertility treatments like IVF, enhancing the chances of success by creating an optimal environment for implantation and fetal growth.

Who is an Ideal Patient for Lymphocyte Immunization Therapy?

The ideal patient for Lymphocyte Immunization Therapy is a female with recurrent miscarriages struggling with infertility.

Other factors like age, medical history, and lifestyle may also be considered by the doctor when deciding if the therapy is suitable. It is important to seek medical advice before pursuing fertility treatment, including LIT. Dr. Sawarkar can help determine whether this therapy is right for you.
