Uso de plasma rico en plaquetas en el campo de la reproducción humana asistida

Abstract

Assisted reproductive therapies have a limited success rate. New therapies are currently being investigated to increase their effectiveness, such as the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP). This agent has demonstrated efficacy at the level of regenerative medicine and consists of the administration of blood plasma extracted from the patient herself with a high platelet count. Given the recent incorporation of this treatment in clinical research, the objective is to carry out a bibliographic review to elucidate the characteristics of its use, effects and benefits. The literature available in the main databases offers very optimistic results. It has been shown that PRP favors endometrial regeneration and folliculogenesis as well as restoration of the menstrual cycle, which may be useful in patients with thin endometrium refractory to classical treatments, chronic endometritis, repeated implantation failure, early ovarian failure or Asherman's syndrome. However, there are few studies and they have a small sample size, so it is necessary to continue and expand the research on PRP.
