BACKGROUND
Pre-eclampsia (PE) carries an increased risk for maternal and/or fetal mortality or serious morbidity. PE is associated with ischemia and increased oxidative stress in the placenta, which may lead to modification of plasma albumin to ischemia-modified albumin (IMA). The aim of this study
OBJECTIVE
Pre-eclampsia is associated with ischemia and increased oxidative stress, which may lead to modification of plasma albumin to ischemia modified albumin (IMA).
METHODS
IMA levels were estimated in cord blood of 30 newborns born to pre-eclamptic mothers and compared with 30 normal newborns.
Maternal thyroid function was investigated in 32 pre-eclamptic women and 10 normal pregnant women in their third trimester. Serum total tri-iodothyronine (TT3) and total thyroxine (TT4) were decreased significantly (P < 0.001) and TSH was increased significantly (P < .001) in pre-eclampsia as
Pre-eclampsia is a serious complication of pregnancy and it is important to detect the condition as early as possible. Albuminuria is an important symptom of pre-eclampsia and repeated urine analyses to screen for the condition are part of the standard antenatal care. The purpose of this study was
OBJECTIVE
To determine the performance of screening for pre-eclampsia by maternal characteristics, urine albumin concentration and albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) at 11(+0) to 13(+6) weeks.
METHODS
Prospective cross-sectional observational study.
METHODS
Routine antenatal visit.
METHODS
A total of
OBJECTIVE
1) To assess the correlation between urine albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR) and 24-hour urine albumin excretion in women with pre-eclampsia, 2) to study the influence of potential confounders on this correlation and 3) to assess the variability of ACR between voids during a 24-hour
Intervillous blood flow (IVBF) was measured by the 133Xe intravenous method before and after a 100 ml infusion of 20% human albumin in 13 cases of severe pre-eclampsia. In spite of the significant increase in serum albumin and colloid osmotic pressure values, no parallel direction of change in IVBF
UNASSIGNED
The aim of this study was to establish whether a spot urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR) measured between 20 and 28 weeks of gestation can predict subsequent pre-eclampsia in asymptomatic pregnant women.
UNASSIGNED
Prospective observational study.

UNASSIGNED
Hypertensive disorders in pregnancy are one of the leading causes of maternal and perinatal mortality. Proteinuria is one of the common and important features of preeclampsia. To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR) in woman with preeclampsia and eclampsia
BACKGROUND
We evaluated whether alterations of hemoglobin (HB), hematocrit (HCT), serum albumin level (ALB), and the difference of HCT and ALB can be used in the diagnosis of preeclampsia and eclampsia in patients with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP).
METHODS
A total of 509 individuals
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines highlighted the need for 'large, high-quality prospective studies comparing the various methods of measuring proteinuria in women with new-onset hypertensive disorders during pregnancy'.
The primary objective was to evaluate
OBJECTIVE
To determine the diagnostic accuracy of two "spot urine" tests for significant proteinuria or adverse pregnancy outcome in pregnant women with suspected pre-eclampsia.
METHODS
Systematic review and meta-analysis.
METHODS
Searches of electronic databases 1980 to January 2011, reference list
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the value of 24-h blood pressure monitoring compared to office blood pressure and urinary albumin excretion in predicting pre-eclampsia in Type I (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus.
METHODS
The study included 136 consecutive pregnancies in Caucasian women with Type I
OBJECTIVE
To establish whether a spot urinary albumin: creatinine ratio (ACR) measured before 20 weeks of gestation can predict subsequent pre-eclampsia when urinary albumin is measured by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
METHODS
Prospective exploratory study.
METHODS
Antenatal clinic
