High sensitive C - reactive protein (HS-CRP) is a sensitive marker of Inflammation. Our aim in this study was to determine Amniotic fluid hs-CRP concentration and its correlation with pre-Term delivery. Materials and methods: This prospective study was conducted on 90 p...
متن کاملPlasma C-reactive protein in early pregnancy and preterm delivery.
Systemic maternal infections have been associated with preterm delivery. The authors examined the association of C-reactive protein (CRP), a marker of inflammation, with preterm delivery. This nested case-control study was conducted within Project Viva in Massachusetts between 1999 and 2002. Subjects were 117 women who delivered preterm (< 37 weeks' gestation) and 117 controls (term deliveries)...

Background: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between early onset sepsis and increased levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in cord plasma. Methods: A prospective study was conducted in 141 premature infants delivered with gestational ages of 26-35 weeks. IL-6 and CPR were measured by enzyme-linked immunoassay in the cord plasma of the neonates. ...

متن کاملRelationship between Low PAPP-A Levels and Preterm Delivery
Background and purpose: Preterm birth is the one that occurs before 37 weeks of pregnancy. Pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) is one of the main elements in screening test for Down syndrome, carried out at 11-14 weeks of gestational age. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between low PAPP-A levels and preterm delivery. Materials and methods: A descriptive-analy...
