| Popis: | AIM: To determine the prognostic value of the low Pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) levels in the early stages of pregnancy (11–13 weeks GA) independently and in combination with a Doppler test of the uterine arteries during the second half of pregnancy (22–23 weeks GA).MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study covered the period 2010–2011 and included 106 pregnant women, aged 35–40, with a single child pregnancy. The research excluded pregnant women with anomalies of the fetus, smokers and women taking prophylactically low doses of aspirin.RESULTS: Thirty-six pregnant women had PAPP-A level below 0.4 MoM, whereas 20 of them developed preeclampsia and 7 – early preeclampsia. The combination of the low PAPP-A values and the abnormal Doppler test of the uterine arteries is with a considerably better prognostic value in regards to the risk of developing preeclampsia.CONCLUSION: The Doppler test is a non-invasive, quick and easy method for assessment of the uterine-placental blood flow. |
