Description

Objective: To explore the clinical significance of changes of plasma ET-1, NO, INH and EGF levels in patients with pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH). Methods: Serum NO levels (with biochemistry), INH, EGF levels (with ELISA) and ET-1 levels (with RIA) were determined in 41 patients with pregnancy induced hypertension and 35 controls. Results: The plasma ET-1, INH levels were significantly higher in patients with PIH than those in the controls (P<0.01), while the plasma NO, EGF levels were significantly lower (P<0.01). Conclusion: Changes of plasma ET-1, NO, INH and EGF levels might be of prognostic importance in patients with pregnancy induced hypertension. (authors)
