Placental Growth Factor (PLGF) in the first trimester of pregnancy –Pre-eclampsia, SGA and trisomies

First trimester screening of serum soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 and placental growth factor predicting hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.

OBJECTIVE To assess the accuracy of first trimester soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1) and placental growth factor (PlGF) in predicting pregnancy hypertension and pre-eclampsia; and compare with the accuracy of routinely collected maternal and clinical risk factors. STUDY DESIGN In this population-based cohort study, serum sFlt-1 and PlGF levels were measured in first trimester in 2,...

Association of adiponectin and placental growth factor in amniotic fluid with second trimester fetal growth.

BACKGROUND We investigated the associations between second trimester amniotic fluid (AF) levels of human adiponectin and placental growth factor (PLGF) in small for gestational age (SGA), large for gestational age (LGA) and appropriate for gestational age (AGA) fetuses. MATERIALS AND METHODS Adiponectin and PLGF levels were determined by enzyme immunoassay in AF of 21 SGA, 13 LGA and 44 AGA f...
