How to judge normal indicators in IVF blood test?
Test tube baby is a kind of baby bred in the laboratory through artificial assisted reproductive technology (ART). In order to ensure the healthy development of test tube babies, doctors usually require routine blood tests. These tests can help doctors assess the growth and health of babies. This article will elaborate on how to judge normal indicators in IVF blood test from four aspects.
1. Hemoglobin and red blood cell count
Hemoglobin and red blood cell count are important indicators for evaluating iron deficiency anemia in test tube infants. The normal hemoglobin level should be between 110-160g/L, and the red blood cell count should be between 3.9-5.3 × 10 ^ 12/L. Lower than this range may indicate that the infant lacks sufficient iron, affecting its normal growth and development. Doctors often recommend increasing iron intake or other treatments to increase hemoglobin levels and red blood cell counts.
In addition to iron deficiency anemia, high hemoglobin and red blood cell count may also be a problem. Excessive hemoglobin and red blood cell count may be caused by some diseases or abnormalities. The doctor will further assess the condition of the baby and develop a treatment plan accordingly.
2. White blood cell count and classification
White blood cell count and classification are important indicators to determine whether the immune function of test tube infants is normal. The normal range of white blood cell count is 4-12 × 10 ^ 9/L. White blood cell classification can help doctors determine the number of different types of white blood cells, so as to better evaluate the immune function of infants. For example, the percentage of lymphocytes in test tube infants is usually low, but abnormalities may also occur. The doctor will determine whether there is immune function problem according to the specific situation and take corresponding treatment measures.
In addition to immune function, white blood cell count and classification can also reflect whether there is infection or inflammation. Too high or too low a white blood cell count may be the body's response to infection or other diseases. The doctor will take appropriate measures according to the specific situation to ensure the health of the baby.
3. Liver function indicators
Liver function is an important index to evaluate the liver health of test tube infants. Common liver function indicators include aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and total bilirubin. The normal AST and ALT levels should be within the normal reference range, while the total bilirubin level should be within the normal range. Abnormal liver function indicators may indicate that the infant has liver injury or dysfunction. The doctor will further evaluate the liver function and provide corresponding treatment suggestions.
4. Thyroid function indicators
Thyroid function is an important index to evaluate the metabolic health of test tube infants. Common indicators of thyroid function include thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), free thyroxine (FT4) and free triiodothyronine (FT3). Normal thyroid function indicators can ensure the normal growth and development of infants. Abnormal thyroid function indicators may have a negative impact on the metabolism, growth and development of infants. The doctor will make further assessment according to the specific situation, and carry out thyroid function treatment as required.
summary
Blood test for test tube infants can assess the health status of infants through a variety of indicators, including hemoglobin and red blood cell count, white blood cell count and classification, liver function indicators and thyroid function indicators. Through the evaluation of these indicators, doctors can find out the health problems of infants in time and formulate corresponding treatment plans. The healthy development of IVF babies requires the joint attention and efforts of doctors and parents to ensure their healthy growth.
