| Abstract | The purpose of this study was to evaluate serum levels of anti- and pro-angiogenic substances measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays and their ratios in pregnancies complicated by different clinical subsets of placental ischemic syndrome: preeclampsia and/or fetal growth restriction. A prospective case-control study was performed consisting of 77 singleton pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia, preeclampsia with concurrent fetal growth restriction (FGR), and isolated normotensive FGR pairwise matched by gestational age with healthy pregnancies. The entire study cohort was analyzed with respect to adverse pregnancy outcomes that occurred. In all investigated subgroups, placental growth factor (PlGF) was lower and soluble endoglin (sEng), the soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1-sFlt-1/PlGF and sFlt-1*sEng/PlGF ratios were higher than in the control group. The differences were most strongly pronounced in the PE with concurrent FGR group and in the sFlt-1/PlGF ratio. The highest sFlt-1 values in preeclamptic patients suggest that this substance may be responsible for reaching the threshold needed for PE to develop as a maternal manifestation of ischemic placental disease. The FGR is characterized by an elevated maternal sFlt-1/PlGF ratio, which boosts at the moment of indicated delivery due to fetal risk. We concluded that angiogenic imbalance is reflective of placental disease regardless of its clinical manifestation in the mother, and may be used as support for the diagnosis and prognosis of FGR. |
