Cost of third generation IVF
The third generation of IVF refers to the introduction of genetic material from the third generation of relatives into the recipient women through assisted reproductive technology, so as to achieve the goal of producing healthy offspring. Although this technology has made some breakthroughs in the field of scientific research, it is still in the exploratory stage in clinical application, and needs higher cost support to be successfully implemented.
Hospital selection
Third generation IVF babies need to be carried out in designated hospitals, and only hospitals with legal equipment and qualifications can provide this service. In China, some large general hospitals have begun to provide this technology. For example, Shanghai Long March Hospital and Beijing Union Medical College Hospital have rich experience in scientific research and medical practice and are widely recognized. However, it should be noted that the cost level of different hospitals will vary.
According to the statistics in recent years, the average cost of three generations of IVF surgery is about 300000 yuan. This amount mainly includes medical expenses and laboratory operating expenses, and the specific composition of the expenses will vary from hospital to hospital.
Assisted reproductive technology costs
The third generation of IVF is an advanced scientific and technological birth mode that comprehensively applies assisted reproductive technology, including in vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer. The costs of these steps themselves need to be included.
First of all, the cost of IVF mainly includes the cost of hormone therapy, the cost of ovum retrieval surgery, etc. The cost of hormone therapy is about 20000 to 30000 yuan. The cost of egg retrieval operation is about 20000 to 30000 yuan, and the cost will increase if multiple cycles are required.
Secondly, in the embryo transfer stage, further expenses for embryo culture, embryo freezing, embryo transfer, etc. will be paid, which will also be about 20000 to 30000 yuan.
Laboratory operating expenses
The third generation of IVF is characterized by the need to extract genetic material from the third generation of relatives and then implant it into the recipient women. This involves the complexity of laboratory operation and the increase of technical requirements, so it will incur certain costs.
Laboratory operation costs include costs for genetic material extraction, quality control testing, gene editing and other processes. According to different laboratory equipment and technical level, the laboratory operation cost is generally between 50000 and 100000 yuan.
Summary:
To sum up, the costs of the third-generation IVF mainly include hospital selection costs, assisted reproductive technology costs and laboratory operation costs. Among them, hospital selection determines the basic operation costs, assisted reproductive technology costs include the operating costs of in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer, and laboratory operating costs are related to processes such as genetic material extraction and gene editing. In general, the cost of carrying out third-generation IVF is relatively high, which may be around 300000 yuan according to different hospitals and individuals.
