OBJECTIVE
Soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase (sFLT-1) is a potent antiangiogenic growth factor that has been found to be markedly elevated in preeclampsia. In healthy pregnancy, serum sFLT-1 concentrations are 50-fold higher than in the nonpregnant state. The functional significance of this
OBJECTIVE
We sought to characterize serum angiogenic factor profile of women with complete placenta previa and determine if invasive trophoblast differentiation characteristic of accreta, increta, or percreta shares features of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition.
METHODS
We analyzed gestational
Placenta previa is an abnormality in which the placenta covers the internal uterine os, and it can cause serious morbidity and mortality in both mother and fetus due to catastrophic hemorrhage. Some pregnant women recover from placenta previa due to a phenomenon called "migration." However, the
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the circulating soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 (sFlt1), placental growth factor (PlGF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) levels in women with abnormal placentation and to compare the data with the results of women with normal pregnancy.
METHODS
Serum biomarkers
