Biochemical Markers in Perinatal
نویسنده
چکیده
Early assessment of the severity of an acute cerebral lesion secondary to hypoxia-ischemia or other pathologic conditions may provide a very useful basis for preventive or therapeutic decisions in pediatric patients. In the present review, we discuss the diagnostic and prognostic value of a series of biochemical parameters, with special reference to the diagnosis of neonatal HIE. Currently many specific biochemical markers of brain injury are being investigated to assess regional brain damage after perinatal asphyxia in neonates of which serum protein S-100β, brain-specific creatine kinase, neuron-specific enolase, IL6 and urinary uric acid levels appear promising in identifying patients with a risk of developing hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. Whether detection of elevated serum concentrations of these proteins reflects long-term neurodevelopmental impairment remains to be investigated.

Predictive Value of Biochemical and Hematological Markers in Prognosis of Asphyxic Infants
Background: Asphyxia is one of the main causes of infant mortality and long-term neurologic complications. This cohort study was aimed to compare the diagnostic value of the hematologic and biochemical factors in prediction of prognosis of asphyxia according to the high prevalence of asphyxia and its complications. Methods: In this cohort with two-year follow up study with availability samplin...
متن کاملBiochemical markers of perinatal brain damage.
Hypoxia-ischemia constitutes a risk in infants by altering cerebral blood flow regulatory mechanisms and causing loss of cerebral vascular auto-regulation. Hypotension, cerebral ischemia, and reperfusion are the main events involved in vascular auto-regulation leading to cell death and tissue damage. These dramatic phenomena represent a common repertoire in infants complicated by perinatal acut...
متن کاملEffect of resistance exercise training on biochemical markers and anthropometric characteristics involved in atherosclerosis in obese women
Introduction: Obese individuals have elevated levels of inflammatory and cell adhesion molecules that can critically induce the occurrence of atherosclerosis. Aerobic exercise training reduces biochemical markers and anthropometric characteristics involved in atherosclerosis. However, little is known about the effect of resistance exercise training on these biomarkers. This study aimed to inves...
متن کاملBiochemical Markers of Spontaneous Preterm Birth in Asymptomatic Women
Preterm birth is a delivery that occurs at less than 37 completed weeks of gestation and it is associated with perinatal morbidity and mortality. Spontaneous preterm birth accounts for up to 75% of all preterm births. A number of maternal or fetal characteristics have been associated with preterm birth, but the use of individual or group biochemical markers have advanced some of the understandi...
