Intralipid Infusions for Fertility
At Radha Hospital & Fertility Center, we use advanced fertility treatments like Intralipid Infusions to support couples facing immune-related fertility issues, recurrent miscarriages, or repeated IVF failures. This therapy is designed to balance the immune system and improve the chances of successful conception and pregnancy.
What are Intralipid Infusions?
Intralipid Infusions are a type of intravenous (IV) treatment made from soybean oil, egg phospholipids, and glycerin, commonly used for nutritional support in hospitals. In fertility care, intralipids have been found to regulate overactive immune cells (Natural Killer cells) that may interfere with implantation or pregnancy.
By calming the immune system, intralipid therapy creates a supportive environment for embryo implantation and growth.
Why are Intralipid Infusions Used in Fertility?
For some women, the immune system may mistakenly treat the embryo as a “foreign body” and attack it. This can cause implantation failure or recurrent miscarriages.
Intralipid Therapy helps by:
Reducing the activity of harmful Natural Killer (NK) cells.
Improving the chances of embryo implantation.
Lowering the risk of pregnancy loss due to immune-related causes.
Supporting successful outcomes in IVF and ICSI treatments.
When is Intralipid Therapy Recommended?
Doctors may recommend intralipid infusions if a woman has:
Recurrent pregnancy loss (two or more miscarriages).
Multiple IVF/ICSI failures despite good-quality embryos.
High NK cell activity detected in blood tests.
Unexplained infertility after standard treatments.
Immune-related disorders affecting fertility.
How are Intralipid Infusions Given?
Intralipids are given as an IV drip in a hospital setting.
The infusion usually lasts 2–3 hours.
It may be given before embryo transfer in IVF or during early pregnancy.
The number of infusions depends on individual needs and the doctor’s advice.
