MethodNinety patients at 32 gestational weeks, according to the last date of menstruation and ultra-sonographic measurements, diagnosed with pre-eclampsia (30 patients), eclampsia (30 patients) or HELLP syndrome (30 patients) were included in the study. Thirty healthy pregnant women from the outpatient clinic during the same period were recruited as the control. The age, gravida, parity, gestational age, systolic and diastolic blood pressures, proteinuria, hemoglobin, thrombocyte count, liver function tests (aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase, SAA, TNF alpha, ProC and hsCRP levels during pregnancy) were determined and recorded. ResultsNo statistically significant differences were detected between the four groups in terms of age, gravida, parity, gestational age and hemoglobin parameters (P>0.05). When compared to the control, systolic and diastolic blood pressures, spot and 24h urine protein levels, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase, SAA, ProC, hsCRP and TNF alpha levels were significantly high and thrombocyte levels were low in the pre-eclamptic, eclamptic and HELLP groups (P<0.05). ConclusionThe investigated parameters were useful to gain an understanding of the maternal inflammatory profile of pre-eclampsia and might be beneficial as markers to predict complications such as HELLP and eclampsia and to provide the necessary preventive approach in these patients.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessEclampsiaHellpHscrp And Tnf AlphaPre-EclampsiaProcSaaArticle443Q4Q244044729345041WOS:000426792400010
