„According to the best available knowledge, it seems that for a pregnancy to go well, it depends on the correct or adequate communication between the mother’s immunity and the future baby. Michal Koucký explained that one of the frequent causes of prematurity is the immune mismatch between the mother and the fetus.
According to the expert, a number of other factors are also reflected in the prosperity of pregnancy. Such as stress and lifestyle: “The way of life we live at the moment, certainly the type of diet, the Western diet has been proven to affect human health in every way, and of course there are a number of hidden other influences, such as perhaps the seemingly trivial thing of is a thyroid disorder or a latent disorder that does not yet manifest and is characterized by the production of antibodies against the thyroid gland.’ According to him, tens of percent of people suffer from a thyroid disorder without even knowing it.
„We used to think that this is not the case and that other factors really play a role, but without a doubt immunity, both innate and acquired, plays a key role, it is quite a complex area, they and my colleagues do not understand it well,” admitted the doctor. “These are congenital and acquired disorders. The innate ones are mainly from a series of so-called complements, which is a tool of immunity that is made up of various cells of the human body, they are actually sets of proteins that are responsible for defense against bacteria. But as it turns out, they are key against and for the proper functioning of the immune system,” he tried to briefly explain a very complex issue.
Antibodies in the game
“Then, of the acquired forms, it is insufficient production of some types of antibodies, mainly from the so-called IgG class,” described the immune causes of miscarriages, but also emphasized that most people do not suffer from any visible ailments, such as repeated infections. “It is so insidious that it will unfortunately only manifest itself in the loss of the pregnancy,” said the doctor.
According to Koucký, the available measures are very effective: “Záthe advantage is to apply so-called low molecular weight heparin, which is a very robust tool of immunomodulation. It’s a drug that otherwise hematologists use to adjust blood clotting, and the other is progesterone, which is a hormone that is produced by the placenta. When it is delivered to the human body together with molecular heparin, it powerfully supports the modulation of immunity.” The doctor described the cases he unfortunately encounters in his practice: “For example, women undergo two abortions, in the twentieth week they come to a workplace for the third time, where colleagues say that they have no way of helping the woman and, God forbid, it turns out just as badly. But when we offer these measures, she delivers the baby on time. I know hundreds of such situations.’
