than examined at the Pathology Lab. at Sanglah General Hospital. Data was analyzed with the Shapiro Wilk Test and the t independent test with alpha 0.05.
Result: The average 8-OHdG serum level in women with blighted ovum and normal pregnancies were 0.177 (SD 0.06) ng/ml and 0.111 (SD 0.01)ng/ml, and significantly different (p
