  • Title: Maternal serum inhibin-A for predicting preeclampsia.
    Author: El-Gharib MN, Morad M.
    Journal: J Matern Fetal Neonatal Med; 2011 Apr; 24(4):595-9. PubMed ID: 21375372.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the use of late first trimester maternal serum inhibin-A concentrations in prediction of preeclampsia. DESIGN: Prospective study. SETTING: Tanta University Hospital. METHODS: All cases (327) were subjected to complete history taking, clinical and ultrasound examination, CBC, liver function tests, estimation of 24 h urine protein and venous blood samples were taken during the late first trimester for estimation of serum level of inhibin-A. RESULTS: First trimester maternal serum inhibin-A concentrations were significantly higher in women who subsequently develop preeclampsia than the corresponding values in healthy matched control pregnant women. CONCLUSIONS: Measurement of inhibin-A during late first trimester of pregnancy can be useful in the prediction of preeclampsia.
