- Abstract
- Aims: To study plasma levels of serum amyloid A protein and C-reactive protein in pregnant women with and without preeclampsia and non-pregnant women. Plasma levels of haptoglobin, orosomucoid and ceruloplasmin were also analyzed. Methods: The study included 295 women with uncomplicated pregnancies, 57 women diagnosed with preeclampsia, and 58 healthy non-pregnant women. Plasma concentrations of acute phase proteins were analyzed by particle-enhanced immunoassays. Non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests were used to test differences between the groups. Results: Plasma levels of C-reactive protein and ceruloplasmin were increased in pregnant women with and without preeclampsia compared to non-pregnant women. Plasma levels of... (More)

Results: Plasma levels of C-reactive protein and ceruloplasmin were increased in pregnant women with and without preeclampsia compared to non-pregnant women. Plasma levels of serum amyloid A protein and C-reactive protein were not elevated in women with preeclampsia compared to women with normal pregnancy. Conclusion: The description of preeclampsia as a systemic inflammatory state was not reflected in the plasma levels of serum amyloid A protein and C-reactive protein. (Less)
