The plasma levels of beta-thromboglobulin (BTG) and platelet factor 4 (PF-4) were measured in patients during the normal obstetric period and in preeclampsia. A significant increase was observed in the two proteins with respect to the nonpregnant control group. Both proteins increased significantly with preeclampsia and a further increment was observed with the severity of preeclampsia though no significant difference in PF-4 levels was encountered between pregnant and mildly preeclamptic women. There was no correlation between BTG, PF-4 and thrombocyte counts.

D010978 Platelet Factor 4 A CXC chemokine that is found in the alpha granules of PLATELETS. The protein has a molecular size of 7800 kDa and can occur as a monomer, a dimer or a tetramer depending upon its concentration in solution. Platelet factor 4 has a high affinity for HEPARIN and is often found complexed with GLYCOPROTEINS such as PROTEIN C.

D011225 Pre-Eclampsia A complication of PREGNANCY, characterized by a complex of symptoms including maternal HYPERTENSION and PROTEINURIA with or without pathological EDEMA. Symptoms may range between mild and severe. Pre-eclampsia usually occurs after the 20th week of gestation, but may develop before this time in the presence of trophoblastic disease.

D001620 beta-Thromboglobulin A platelet-specific protein which is released when platelets aggregate. Elevated plasma levels have been reported after deep venous thrombosis, pre-eclampsia, myocardial infarction with mural thrombosis, and myeloproliferative disorders. Measurement of beta-thromboglobulin in biological fluids by radioimmunoassay is used for the diagnosis and assessment of progress of thromboembolic disorders. beta-2 Thromboglobulin,Thromboglobulin, beta-2,beta 2 Thromboglobulin,beta Thromboglobulin
