Serum Level of High Sensitive C-Reactive Protein in Normal and Preeclamptic Pregnancies

serum level of high sensitive c-reactive protein in normal and preeclamptic pregnancies

background and objective: the aim of this study was to determine the level of plasma high sensitive c-reactive protein (hs-crp) in preeclampsia and to compare hs-crp levels between normal pregnant women, mild preeclamptic, and severe preeclamptic women. materials and methods: serum hs-crp levels were investigated in 40 cases of normal pregnant women, 37 cases with mild preeclampsia and 38 cases...

Mid-Trimester Amniotic Fluid High Sensitive C-Reactive Protein Level in the Prediction of Preterm Delivery

  Background and Objectives: Preterm labor is a serious problem in obstetrics, accounting for 70% of perinatal mortality. 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...

A Comparative Study of Serum Level of Vascular Cell Adhesion Molecule-1 (sVCAM-1), Intercellular Adhesion Molecule-1(ICAM-1) and High Sensitive C - reactive protein (hs-CRP) in Normal and Pre-eclamptic Pregnancies

Maternal Serum Levels of Transforming Growth Factor ß1 (TGF-ß1) in Normal and Preeclamptic Pregnancies

Background: Successful pregnancy in allopregnant women depends upon the control of graft rejection mechanisms. It has been suggested that some immunosuppressive cytokines contribute to successful pregnancy and transplantation. Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-   β) exhibits potent immunoregulatory and anti-inflammatory properties which might prolong graft survival. Recent studies suggest a ...

Comparison of thyroid hormone levels between normal and preeclamptic pregnancies

 Background: To investigate thyroid function in preeclamptic patients in comparison with normal pregnant women. Methods: In this analytical cross-sectional study free Thyroxine (T4), and Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) levels were measured in 100 preeclamptic patients and were compared with Free T4 and TSH levels in 101 normal pregnant women in their third trimester of pregnancy. Patient...
