Abstract

Microvasculature fibrin deposition is implicated in preeclampsia. D-Dimer has emerged as a useful diagnostic tool for thrombotic conditions because its plasma concentration has a high negative implicative value for veinous thromboembolism. Forty (40) consenting pregnant women were recruited from St. Philomina Catholic Hospital, Edo State, Nigeria. These subjects consisted of  twenty (20) normotensive  and twenty (20) preeclamptic pregnant women in their  third trimester of pregnancy. Blood samples was spun in a bucket centrifuge at 2500 RPM (rounds per minute) for 10 minutes after which plasma was collected  and stored frozen in plain sample bottles and was analyzed for thrombus marker (D- Dimer)  levels  by fluorescence immunoassay  method.

Abstract

Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is a glycoprotein normally produced during fetal development, but presence of tissue damage and inflammation, its levels increase and this may be linked to Carcinoembryonic antigen in the pathophysiology of preeclampsia. This study aims to assess the level of Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in preeclamptic pregnant women in the third trimester of pregnancy. Forty (40) consenting pregnant women were recruited from St. Philomina Catholic Hospital, Edo State, Nigeria. After the subjects were identified and recruited into the study, they were taken to the laboratory where their vital signs was taken and 10 milliliters (10 ml) of venous blood was drawn from consenting participants and placed in a lithium heparin sample bottles analyzed for Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels by fluorescence immunoassay. Data obtained from this study were analysed using Graph Pad Prism 9. Results generated were expressed as mean ± SEM and a P-value of ≤ 0.05 were considered statistically significant. The present study showed that there was statistically significant increase in the level of Brain injury marker (CEA) was observed in preeclamptic women compared to normotensive pregnant women, indicating various underlying pathophysiological processes such as Brain injury in preeclampsia.

Abstract

C-reactive protein (CRP) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) are general marker for inflammation and Arterial damage results from white blood cell invasion. This study aims to assess the level of inflammatory markers C-Reactive Protein (CRP) and High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP) in preeclamptic pregnant women in the third trimester of pregnancy. Fourty (40) consenting pregnant women were recruited from St. Philomina Catholic Hospital, Edo State, Nigeria. Blood samples was spun in a bucket centrifuge at 2500 RPM (rounds per minute) for 10 minutes after which plasma was collected and stored frozen in plain sample bottles and was analyzed for C-reactive protein (CRP) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels by fluorescence immuno assay. Data obtained from this study were analysed using Graph Pad Prism 9. Results generated were expressed as mean ± SEM and a P-value of ≤ 0.05 were considered statistically significant. The present study showed that there was statistically significant increase in the level of C-Reactive Protein (CRP) and High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP) in preeclamptic women compared to normotensive pregnant women, indicating various underlying pathophysiological processes such as inflammation.
