Embryotoxicity of peritoneal fluid in women with endometriosis. Its relation with cytokines and lymphocyte populations

Serum and Peritoneal Fluid Levels of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor in Women with Endometriosis

Serum and Peritoneal Fluid Cytokine Profiles in Infertile Women with Endometriosis

Background: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease with the growth of endometrial cells out of uterus and in the peritoneal cavity. T cell subsets participate in the establishment and progress of the disease by producing different cytokines. Objective: To investigate a group of cytokines related to Th1/Th2/Th17/Treg subsets within both peripheral blood...

Serum and Peritoneal Fluid CA 125 Levels Infertile Women with Pelvic Endometriosis in Urummia

SUMMARY Infertility has a special importance in gynecology in causing social, psychological and somatic prohlems. Endometriosis is a benign but progressive disorder in reproductive life and is more common in infertile women. CA 125 is a cell membrane glycoprotein. The endometrium is one the known source of this antigen and seems to be elevated in the pelvic endometriosis. In this study, from...

The Correlation between Serum and Peritoneal Fluid CA125 Level in Women with Pelvic Endometriosis

Background Despite a high prevalence of endometriosis, there still exist many challenges in diagnosing the disease. This study aims to evaluate non-invasive and practical diagnostic methods by measuring serum and peritoneal fluid CA 125 levels in patients with endometriosis. A secondary aim is to determine the correlation between these markers with the stage of disease as well as the relationsh...

Peritoneal fluid cytokines and the relationship with endometriosis and pain.

It is generally accepted that the current scoring system for endometriosis has little correlation with clinical symptoms such as pain, and therefore we may deduce that either endometriosis does not cause pain, or that the current scoring system does not indicate the biological activity of the disease. Pain may occur because the presence of endometriosis produces an intraperitoneal inflammatory ...
