ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate the serum vasostatin-1 levels in preeclamptic and non-preeclamptic pregnant women. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Thirty consecutive women with mild preeclampsia and sixty consecutive women with severe preeclampsia were compared with ninety gestational age-matched (±1 week) non-preeclamptic pregnant women with an appropriate-for-gestational-age (AGA) fetus.RESULTS:
Mean serum vasostatin-1 was significantly higher in women with preeclampsia than gestational age-matched controls. Mean serum vasostatin-1 was significantly higher in the mild preeclampsia group compared to its gestational age-matched control group, and in the severe preeclampsia group compared to its gestational age-matched control group. There was no significant difference in mean serum vasostatin-1 levels between the mild and severe preeclampsia groups, and in severe early- and severe late-onset preeclampsia groups. Serum vasostatin-1 had positive correlations with systolic and diastolic blood pressure.CONCLUSION:
Serum vasostatin-1 was significantly higher in women with preeclampsia compared to those of the gestational age-matched controls. There was no significant difference in mean serum vasostatin-1 levels between the mild and severe preeclampsia groups and severe early- and severe late-onset preeclampsia groups.
