Relation Between Protein 13 and Gestational Hypertensive Disorder

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
the attendants of the clinic with a one-missed period (T0) underwent determination of baseline blood pressure (BP) measures and gave blood samples for estimation of levels of placental growth factor (PLGF), soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1) and pregnancy protein 13 (PP13). The same evaluation was repeated on the 6th, 24th, 32nd, and 36th gestational week (GW). Twenty non-pregnant women gave samples as a negative control group.

Arms and Interventions

| Participant Group/Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
| --- | --- |
| Gestational Hypertension<br> | Diagnostic Test: Estimation of Protein 13<br>* Serum biomarkers' levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits according to the manufacturer's instructions and were read using a 96 well microplate ELISA reader (Dynatech. MR 7000) Human placental growth factor (PLGF) was measured with the enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) kit (catalog no. DPG00 SPG00 PDPG00, R&D Systems Inc., Minneapolis, USA) by quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique (20). Human soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1) was measured with the enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) kit (catalog no. MBS601616, MyBioSource, Inc., California, San Diego, USA) by quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique (21). Human pregnancy protein 13 was measured with the enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) kit (catalog no. ab100553, Abcam Inc., Cambridge, USA) by quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique (22).<br>|
