42 Negative correlation between PlGF and Endocan-1 in women with preeclampsia

Influence of the sFlt-1/PlGF Ratio on Clinical Decision-Making in Women with Suspected Preeclampsia

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the influence of the soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase 1/placental growth factor ratio in physicians' decision making in pregnant women with signs and symptoms of preeclampsia in routine clinical practice. METHODS A multicenter, prospective, open, non-interventional study enrolled pregnant women presenting with preeclampsia signs and symptoms in several European perinatal...

Increased sFlt-1 to PlGF Ratio in Women Who Subsequently Develop Preeclampsia

The purpose of this study was to determine whether the levels of soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1) and placenta growth factor (PlGF) are altered during the second trimester in the plasma of women who subsequently develop preeclampsia. We performed a case-control study to compare the levels of sFlt-1 and PlGF in the preeclamptic (n=46) and normal pregnant women (n=100). The maternal pl...

Preeclampsia and angiogenic factors sFlt-1/PlGF ratio in the diagnosis of preeclampsia

Placental growth factor (PLGF) with PAPP-A and free beta hCG assessment in women between 1

Preeclampsia (PE) remains one of the leading causes of maternal, fetal and neonatal mortality and morbidity worldwide. Early identification of a subgroup of patients with an increased risk for PE became one of the most important goals in perinatal medicine. Our objective was to examine the possible relationship of PLGF measurements in late 1 trimester of pregnancy with selected maternal clinica...

Evaluation of Androgen and Progesterone Levels in Women with Preeclampsia

Background: Preeclampsia along with its complications seems to be one of the major causes of maternal morbidity and mortality. Despite numerous studies, the pathology of preeclampsia has not yet been fully elucidated. This study, therefore, determines whether maternal serum levels of androgen and progesterone are higher in patients with preeclampsia than in matched control subjects. Methods: Se...
