In recent times, the role of these receptors has become the focus of several studies in the gestational context. Evaluation of soluble TREM-1 concentration in normal pregnancy is scarce, and no data are available on the levels of this receptor in the last weeks of normal pregnancy. Method: Amniotic fluid (AF) samples were obtained from 77 patients in the last weeks of normal pregnancy during cesarean section, and the soluble form of TREM-1 (sTREM-1) levels determined using specific sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit. Results: sTREM-1 was detectable in all AF samples, and its levels did not vary in the last weeks of third trimester pregnancy. There was no correlation between sTREM-1 levels in AF and advancing gestational age. Conclusion: sTREM-1 is a physiologic constituent of AF and its levels are not temporally regulated in pregnancies at term.
