The Association between C- Reactive Protein and Preeclampsia in Late Pregnancy
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 9
Abstract
Objective: To study the association between C-Reactive Protein (CRP) level and preeclampsia in late pregnancy. Patients & Methods: A total 100 pregnant women were enrolled in this study, all at third trimester. Their ages ranged between 29-49 years. About 60 had a hypertensive disorder while the other 40 were normotensive. Then the hypertensive group divided into two groups. The first group with mild preeclampsia and the second one with severe preeclampsia. Test was done for CRP-Latex Reagent. Results: There were 42 are primigravida and 18 multigravida among the 50 pregnant women at third trimester. While 30 primigravida and 10 multigravida in the control group. 58% with mild preeclampsia and 77% with sever preeclampsia were positive for CRP, while just 22% of control group were positive for CRP. Conclusions: CRP tend to be higher in pregnant women, who are at risk of developing preeclampsia than in healthy pregnant women, so it can be used as a predictive marker for early detection of preeclampsia.
