Clinical Reproductive Immunology provides an up-to-date overview of clinical research in the field of reproductive immunology and pregnancy. With a strong focus on the use of clinical diagnostics to identify immune-related etiologies in pregnancy complications and/or failure, the book also addresses a significant informational gap by providing an overview of clinical data followed by a diagnostic algorithm at the end of each chapter. Every chapter addresses a significant information gap by providing a diagnostic algorithm that will serve to translate the findings from clinical research into a concise, stepwise guide developed with the clinical reproductive specialist in mind.
This title builds nicely on the foundational Reproductive Immunology text and serves as a more concise diagnostic reference tool, addressing clinical utility and the significance of related research when developing background sections for manuscripts/literature reviews or for significant sections on grant proposals.
