Popis: Abstract Background Thin endometrium could be a major contributing factor in decreasing pregnancy rates with in-vitro fertilization. Several treatments have been studied in patients with thin endometrium, like hormonal therapy by GnRH-agonist and estrogen. Additionally, vasoactive measures like aspirin, a mix of pentoxifylline, vitamin E, l-arginine, sildenafil, and intrauterine infusion of a growth factor such as G-CSF, and the recent application of regenerative medicine were reported in previous trials. Main body of the abstract We discuss here a new modality for thin endometrium treatment using platelet-rich plasma (PRP) administered as an intrauterine infusion. The purpose of this review is to evaluate the effectiveness of PRP in cases of infertility. All relevant articles addressing the use of PRP, published from January 2000 to September 2018, were reviewed and analyzed. The studies published on the PRP treatment model for thin endometrium in the gynecology field were mainly case series, pilot studies, or case reports. Conclusion In the current review, we found that the local administration of PRP is significantly effective in increasing pregnancy rates of infertile women with thin endometrium
