Placental protein 10 (PP10) in singleton and twin pregnancy complicated by pre-eclampsia. 1987

Department I of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Helsinki University Central Hospital, Finland.

Circulating levels of placental protein 10 (PP10) were measured by radioimmunoassay in 140 women with normal singleton pregnancy (140 samples), in 6 women with normal twin pregnancy (15 samples) and in 35 pregnant women with pre-eclampsia (51 samples from singleton pregnancies and 7 samples from twin pregnancies) between 24 and 40 weeks. In singleton pregnancies with pre-eclampsia, the levels were lower than normal (P less than 0.01). In twin pregnancy the circulating PP10 levels were not significantly affected. These results suggest that changes in placental function are reflected in the circulating PP10 levels.

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.
