Abstract
Today, early detection of preeclmpsia has become one of the fundamental goals of perinatal medicine. Although clinical symptoms of PE emerge after 20th week of gestation, trophoblast invasion that is responsible for pathogenesis occurs in the first trimester Therefore, this study is performed to evaluate the clinical utility of Placental Growth Factor and uterine artery Doppler velocimetry in evolution of preeclampsia This study comprised 60 pregnant women admitted to inpatient and outpatient clinic of Obstetrics & Gynecology department at Tanta University Hospitals during the period of research from December 2019 to December 2020 to evaluate the clinical utility of placental growth factor and uterine artery Doppler velocimetry in evolution of preeclampsia. This study included 3 groups of pregnant women who had gestational age ranged from 20 to 26weeks: first group included 20 pregnant women with normal pregnancy, second group included 20 pregnant women with mild preeclampsia, and the third group included 20 cases with severe preeclampsia. In addition, the mean of gestational age at delivery was significantly lower in patients who had severe preeclampsia than those with mild preeclampsia and controls (33.3 ± 2.1 vs. 35.4±1.35 and 36.3±2.05; respectively) (P=0.001). In contrast, there was no significant difference in the mean of gestational age at delivery of patients with mild preeclampsia and controls (P= 0.133).
