A gentle reminder

• 1There are many examinations associated with immunity. The current evidence from the literature only supports that the immunotherapy for antiphospholipid syndrome is beneficial to recurrent miscarriage. It remains controversial to treat the other abnormal results involved with immunity. Please feel free to discuss any questions about treatment with your attending physician.
• 2According to the CCH research data of the thrombotic diathesis of Taiwanese women, protein S deficiency may be one of the reasons for pregnancy failure.
