June 19, 2023 updated by: Nefise Nazlı YENIGUL, Sanliurfa Mehmet Akif Inan Education and Research Hospital

The Role of Pentraxin 3 and Cathepsin B Levels in the Second Trimester in Predicting of Maternal and Fetal Results in Preeclamptic Pregnancy

In this study, the investigator aim was to compare Cathepsin B and Pentraxin 3 levels measured from maternal serum of pregnant women diagnosed with preeclampsia in the second trimester, the effects of these levels on maternal/ fetal outcomes and the composite results of Cathepsin B and Pentraxin 3 levels alone or together and contribute to the literature in this area.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This prospective case-control study was conducted between 1 January 2022 and 31 December 2022 at Bursa Yuksek Ihtisas Training and Research Hospital. The study was conducted with pregnant women between ages of 18-45 who were diagnosed with preeclampsia in the second trimester. This study was conducted with total 156 pregnant women. participants were grouped according to the presence of preeclampsia; Group1: Patients diagnosed with preeclampsia between 20-28 weeks (study group) (n:78) , Group 2: Healthy pregnant women between 20-28 weeks without a diagnosis of preeclampsia ( control group) (n:78) . As soon as preeclampsia is diagnosed and before any treatment was started, maternal serum samples were collected in the Cathepsin B and Pentraxin 3 kit in amounts suitable for the study. The samples obtained were kept in biochemistry laboratory at -80 degrees until the study was conducted. After all samples were collected, Cathepsin B and Pentraxin 3 values were measured by ELISA method.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.
