Abstract:
Objective:To observe expressions of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF ) and placental growth factor (PLGF) in patients with hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy (HDCP) during early and mid pregnancy ,and pro‐vide basis for diagnosing HDCP .Methods:A total of 46 normal pregnant women (normal pregnancy group ) and 39 HDCP patients (HDCP group) were enrolled .The HDCP group was further divided into gestational hypertension group (n=26) , mild preeclampsia group (n=8) and severe preeclampsia group (n=5) .Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure serum VEGF and PLGF levels during early ,mid and late pregnancy ,and those were compared among a‐bove groups .Results:Compared with normal pregnancy group ,there were significant reductions in serum levels of VEGF [ (187.54 ± 17.36) ng/L vs .(123.35 ± 16.46) ng/L] and PLGF [ (217.49 ± 26.32) ng/L vs .(128.32 ± 21.23) ng/L] in HDCP group during mid period (24th week) , P<0. 01 all ,and serum VEGF and PLGF levels more significantly reduced during late pregnancy (34th week) (P<0.01);in HDCP group ,compared with gestational hypertension group and severe preeclampsia group ,PLGF level [(127.46 ± 16.55) ng/L ,(158.40 ± 26.33) ng/L vs .(99.02 ± 27.26) ng/L] significantly reduced in mild preeclampsia group on 24th week;the serum VEGF and PLGF levels more significantly reduced on 34th week , P<0. 05 or <0. 01 . Conclusion:Reduced serum levels of VEGF and PLGF during mid pregnancy in HDCP patients are help to early diagnosing HDCP .
