Brief Summary:
The reason for having a higher incidence of preeclampsia in primiparas may involve angiogenesis imbalance in these patients.
Detailed Description:
Primiparity is one of the main risk factors for having preeclampsia during pregnancy. Recently, sFlt-1, soluble FMS-like tyrosine kinase-1, has been shown to be a major molecule involved in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia. Higher sFlt-1 mRNA, higher serum levels of sFlt-1 as well as lower PlGF, placental growth factor, have been found in preeclamptic patients.
We intend to check the angiogenesis profile of primiparas as compared to multiparas.
