The Aim of this study is to determine the relationship between serum concentrations of cancer antigen-125 (CA-125) and pre-eclampsia severity.
Although the source of CA-125 during pregnancy is the fetal chorion, amniotic fluid, and maternal decidua, the perinatal dynamics of maternal serum CA-125 requires clarification. Clinical studies of CA-125 levels and its function in hypertensive pregnant patients are limited and offered contradictory results (Cebesoy et al., 2009).
And so we investigate CA-125 in normal pregnancy and in pre-eclampsia, comparing mild and sever pre-eclampsia to determine relationship of CA-125 and severity of the disease.
Patients will be divided in three groups:
Control: 40 normal healthy pregnant women attending the ER in labor.
Mild pre-eclampsia: 40 patients fulfilling the following criteria.
Severe pre-eclampsia :40 patients fulfilling anyone or more of the following criteria (The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, 2010)(ACOG):
