What is the cost composition of three generations of IVF?
The third generation IVF refers to the use of genes from three different people in the process of in vitro cultivation of fertilized eggs and transplantation of them into the mother through assisted reproductive technology. Although this technology has many advantages, its cost composition mainly includes the following aspects.
Medical examination expenses
Before the third generation of IVF, a series of medical examinations are required to ensure that the patient's physical condition is suitable for IVF operation. These examinations include gynecological examination, blood examination, semen analysis, etc., to assess the quality and quantity of eggs and sperm. The medical examination fee generally includes the doctor's consultation fee, examination fee and the cost of relevant testing items.
For example, the cost of gynecological examination in Peking Union Medical College Hospital is about 500 yuan, and the cost of semen analysis is about 200 yuan. These costs may vary according to different hospitals and regions.
Assisted reproductive technology costs
Three generations of IVF used assisted reproductive technology, including egg collection, sperm acquisition, in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. The cost of these technologies mainly includes the doctor's operation cost, drug cost and laboratory operation cost.
Taking Peking Union Medical College Hospital as an example, the cost of egg collection is about 10000 to 20000 yuan, the cost of in vitro fertilization is about 10000 to 20000 yuan, and the cost of embryo transfer is about 10000 to 20000 yuan. At the same time, drug costs vary according to the patient's situation and treatment plan.
Cost of embryo gene testing
An important part of the third generation IVF is embryo gene testing, which is used to screen embryos without hereditary diseases. This technology requires the use of advanced equipment and professionals for in-depth gene sequencing and analysis, so the cost is high.
Taking Renji Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine as an example, the cost of gene sequencing is about 5000 yuan to 10000 yuan. With the cost of embryo culture and implantation, the total cost is estimated to be about 30000 yuan to 50000 yuan.
Prenatal health care costs
After the successful transplantation of three generations of test tube babies, a period of prenatal care is required to ensure the normal development of embryos and the health of mothers. During this period, multiple prenatal examinations may be required, including fetal ultrasound examination, blood routine examination, etc.
These antenatal health care costs generally include doctor's consultation fees, examination fees, drug costs, etc. The specific costs vary from hospitals and regions, ranging from several thousand yuan to more than 100000 yuan.
In a word, the cost of three generations of IVF includes medical examination cost, assisted reproductive technology cost, embryo gene testing cost and prenatal health care cost. These fees will vary according to the individual conditions of patients and the charging standards of different hospitals. When considering the operation of third-generation IVF, patients need to fully understand the cost composition and take comprehensive consideration of the economy and actual situation.
