  • Title: [The serum concentration of specific beta 1-glycoprotein in trophoblastic disease].
    Author: Radikov N.
    Journal: Akush Ginekol (Sofiia); 1989; 28(2):15-9. PubMed ID: 2548413.
    Abstract:
    Twelve women with hydatidiform mole were studied between 12 and 20 weeks-gestation. The level of SP1 was determined by radioimmunologic method. The author found statistically significant increase of SP1 over 90th percentile of gestational age (p less than 0.001). Examining the level of SP1 after evacuation of hydatidiform mole it was established that SP1 was eliminated more quickly than human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) in urine during early pregnancy. Quite the contrary was discovered in women with advanced pregnancy, in whom the concentration of SP1 disappeared more slowly, while HCG was eliminated for a shorter time. The observed dissociation in elimination of SP1 and HCG showed that the combined examination of HCG and SP1 provided better information in the follow-up of women with trophoblastic disease. The author think that treatment of trophoblastic disease should continue till complete elimination both of HCG and SP1.
