  • Title: Placental protein 5 (PP5) in complicated pregnancies.
    Author: Nisbet AD, Bremner RD, Jandial V, Sutherland HW, Horne CW, Bohn H.
    Journal: Br J Obstet Gynaecol; 1981 May; 88(5):492-9. PubMed ID: 7236552.
    Abstract:
    Maternal serum PP5 concentrations were assayed in pregnancies complicated by intrauterine growth retardation, pre-eclampsia, diabetes mellitus, placental abruption and twins. Elevated PP5 levels were noted in twin pregnancies and to a lesser extent in diabetes and pre-eclampsia. Measurement of PP5 was of no value in the detection of fetal growth retardation. The great majority of PP5 levels above the normal range were associated with a placental abnormality.
