Endometriosis: Soluble CD23 protein in the peritoneal fluid of patients with endometriosis

The Correlation between Serum and Peritoneal Fluid CA125 Level in Women with Pelvic Endometriosis

Background Despite a high prevalence of endometriosis, there still exist many challenges in diagnosing the disease. This study aims to evaluate non-invasive and practical diagnostic methods by measuring serum and peritoneal fluid CA 125 levels in patients with endometriosis. A secondary aim is to determine the correlation between these markers with the stage of disease as well as the relationsh...

c-reactive protein (crp) levels of serum and peritoneal fluid in women with endometriosis

background: endometriosis is defined as the existence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus. diagnosis of endometriosis is a challenging theme. despite the broad search for innovative laboratory tests and advances in imaging technologies, there are still no easy, non-invasive diagnostic tests available. due to inflammatory process of endometriosis, still c-reactive protein (crp) level m...

Peritoneal fluid environment in endometriosis. Clinicopathological implications.

Endometriosis is a puzzling disorder with obscure pathogenesis. The objective of this review was to evaluate the complex role of peritoneal fluid in the etiopathogenesis of endometriosis. Several studies suggest that peritoneal fluid is a key inflammatory environment associated with endometriosis. Many active substances (cytokines, growth factors, hormones and oxidative stress parameters) have ...

Serum and Peritoneal Fluid Levels of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor in Women with Endometriosis

Interleukin-10 gene promoter polymorphisms and their protein production in peritoneal fluid in patients with endometriosis.

Although associations of interleukin-10 (IL-10) gene promoter polymorphisms and their protein production with endometriosis risk have been reported, the correlations remain controversial. The objective of this study was to determine IL-10 gene promoter polymorphisms at -1082, -819 and -592 sites and their protein production in peritoneal fluid (PF) in patients with and without endometriosis. IL...
