dc.description.abstractThe aim of this study was to evaluate maternal plasma total fibronectin values in pregnancy-associated hypertension in women in the third trimester of pregnancy. A total of 125 pregnant women at the 24th week of gestation participated in this study. Nonpregnant normotensive women were included as control group (n = 30). Plasma samples for fibronectin were obtained at the 24th, 28th, and 32nd weeks of gestation from all pregnant patients. From this cohort, 10 patients met the criteria for the diagnosis of gestational hypertension and 15 women met the stringent requirements of preeclampsia, whereas 100 patients were normotensive later in gestation. Plasma total fibronectin levels were determined by radial immunodiffusion technique. Data were analyzed using the SPSS program. The mean plasma fibronectin levels of the pregnant women in whom gestational hypertension and preeclampsia developed were significantly higher at the 24th, 28th, and 32nd weeks in comparison to normotensive pregnant women (p < 0.001). However, throughout the period from the 24th to 32nd weeks of pregnancy, plasma total fibronectin levels did not exhibit a significant change in normotensive pregnant patients or in patients with preeclampsia and gestational hypertension. There was also no correlation between plasma fibronectin levels and gestational age, mean arterial pressure, birth weight, and 5-minute Apgar scores in all groups (p < 0.05). The elevated maternal plasma fibronectin level over 40 mg/dL is capable of predicting preeclampsia with a sensitivity of 73% and a specificity of 92%. These results suggest that serial plasma fibronectin measurements before 24 weeks' of gestation may be helpful in the early detection of preeclampsia in normotensive gravid women who are destined to become clinically preeclamptic.en_US
