Serum soluble human leukocyte antigen-G in pregnancies complicated by severe preeclampsia

چکیده
The aim of this study was to investigate the maternal serum of soluble human leukocyte antigen G (sHLA-G) levels in pregnancies complicated by severe preeclampsia. Patients and methods: The study was conducted on 43 patients with pregnancy complicated by severe preeclampsia (the PRE group). The control group consisted of 30 healthy normotensive patients with singleton uncomplicated pregnancies (the C group). Maternal serum sHLA-G levels were calculated using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results: There were no statistically significant differences in gravidity, parity, maternal age and height in patient profiles between groups. Maternal weight and BMI were lower in the control group. Systolic and diastolic blood pressures were significantly higher in the study group of preeclamptic pregnant women than in the control group. Maternal serum sHLA-G levels tended to be higher in pregnant women with pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia. The mean values were 28.385 ± 23.257 Units/ml in preeclamptic patients and 21.20 ± 22.410 Units/ml in the healthy controls. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that the increased levels of sHLA-G in maternal serum of preeclamptic women may play a significant role in the aetiology of this pregnancy specific disorder and may suggest the state of excessive inflammation and disturbed the feto-maternal immune balance in pregnancies complicated by severe preeclampsia.

Background: Research says that diabetes may develop in over 10% of non-diabetic pregnant women. Diabetes which generally occurs late in second trimester and third trimester of pregnancy, it is called gestational diabetes. Overweight or suffering from obesity before pregnancy is type 2 diabetes risk factor. In most cases, diabetic symptoms disappear after delivery. HLA-G has an important role bo...

Background and purpose: Preeclampsia as the most common complication of pregnancies has unknown physiopathology. Because the role of serum Beta-human Chorionic Gonadotropin (B-hCG) in pathophysiology of preeclampsia is not well known, we decided to determine the correlation between serum concentration of B-HCG and preeclampsia . Materials and Methods: This case-control study performed on t...

Endothelial dysfunction is thought to be a central pathogenic feature in preeclampsia on the basis of elevated adhesion molecules. The aim of the present study was to compare the levels of soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) and E-selectin (sE-selectin) in sera of normal and preeclamptic pregnancies. We studied the serum levels of sVC...
