Abstract
Purpose To assess the relationship between low-grade inflammation, measured as basal high sensitivity (hs)-CRP, and IVF outcome. Methods We recruited a total of 220 women undergoing infertility work up prior to IVF. Patients were selected for a BMI Results Median hs-CRP was 1.08 mg/L (0.43--3.00 mg/L). The hs-CRP was significantly related to BMI (r=0.386, P Conclusions These findings demonstrate that serum hs-CRP concentration is not a predictive marker of cycle or pregnancy outcome in women undergoing IVF treatment.
