The aim of the study was to statistically prove that HBA® test is an efficient practical method for andrologists determine fertility potential as well measure efficiency oral supplement therapy in case male infertility. In study, 175 patients were involved and it also included follow-up studies 39 after therapy. Completing ‘classic’ spermatological parameters with results test, authors have determined a new index be used rating potential. After therapy, both sperm density hyaluronan binding capacity increased significantly. are convinced analysis objective, standardisable which provides better approach This enables us detect spermatozoa previously misjudged normal by morphological assay makes more measurable.
