A mothers immune system is altered during pregnancy so that the fetus is not rejected by her body and is allowed to grow. When this balance goes awry, the immune system may become the cause of a miscarriage or multiple miscarriages. We talked to Dr. Jeffrey Braverman, a world leader in reproductive immunology, about the role of immune system in recurrent miscarriages. Dr. Braverman discussed about various immunity related conditions or issues that may be the cause of recurrent miscarriages, and also highlighted the advances in the diagnosis and management of immune related pregnancy complications.
