Objective: To identify and analyze the differences in the levels of
PlGF in preeclampsia and normal pregnancy.
Method: This was a cross-sectional observational qualitative study
of PlGF in preeclampsia and normal pregnancy. The number of samples
in case and control group was 30 in each groups.
Result: We found that mean of maternal age in the preeclampsia
group was 28.53 years and 25.23 years in the control group. Mean
parity in preeclampsia and control group was 2.33 and 1.56, respectively.
Mean hemoglobin level in preeclampsia and control group
was 11.97 and 11.99, respectively. Mean maternal blood glucose
level was 87.0 in the preeclampsia group, and 87.9 in the control
group. In the preeclampsia group mean urea concentration was
16.45, while it was 22.78 in the control group. Mean creatinine level
was 0.92 in the preeclampsia group and 0.64 in the control group.
Mean SGPT and SGOT in the preeclampsia group was 23.36 and
21.97, while in the control group was 29.86 and 26.20. Test results
showed that PlGF levels was significantly different between the preeclampsia
and control group. Mean PlGF in the preeclampsia and control
group was 42.10 and 452.33 respectively, with p
