Identification of high-risk pregnancy by the routine measurement of pregnancy-specific beta 1-glycoprotein. 1983

J G Grudzinskas, and Y B Gordon, and M Menabawey, and J N Lee, and J Wadsworth, and T Chard

A prospective study of 1,040 women who underwent delivery during 1977 at St. Bartholomew's Hospital was undertaken to evaluate the role of measurement of maternal circulating pregnancy-specific beta 1-glycoprotein (SP1) in the detection of high-risk pregnancy. A comparison of the predictive value of this test was also made with a variety of clinical, ultrasonic, and biochemical variables in the detection of high-risk pregnancies. The best antenatal predictors of fetal risk were severe preeclampsia and depressed maternal serum levels of human placental lactogen and SP1. It is suggested that measurement of SP1 may provide valuable information on fetal compromise in late pregnancy.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010928 Placental Lactogen A polypeptide hormone of approximately 25 kDa that is produced by the SYNCYTIOTROPHOBLASTS of the PLACENTA, also known as chorionic somatomammotropin. It has both GROWTH HORMONE and PROLACTIN activities on growth, lactation, and luteal steroid production. In women, placental lactogen secretion begins soon after implantation and increases to 1 g or more a day in late pregnancy. Placental lactogen is also an insulin antagonist.

D011268 Pregnancy-Specific beta 1-Glycoproteins Glycoproteins with the electrophoretic mobility of BETA-GLOBULINS, secreted by the placental TROPHOBLASTS into the maternal bloodstream during PREGNANCY. They can be detected 18 days after OVULATION and reach 200 mg/ml at the end of pregnancy. They are associated with fetal well-being.
