| Abstract | Introduction: Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are considered major contributors to low birth weight and maternal, fetal and neonatal morbid-mortality. Aim: To compare the levels of M, G, A immunoglobulins and complement system proteins C3 and C4 in blood samples from umbilical cord in 60 underweight newborns. Material and method: Samples were divided into two groups; the fi rst one included 30 newborn to hypertensive mothers and the second one, 30 born to non-hypertensive mothers. Assessments were carried out in serum samples using a quantitative turbidimetric method. Results: Both groups showed minimal values of IgM and IgA, and complement system proteins were 50% of the reported values in adults. IgM values were highest in the group that included hypertensive mothers, but without statistical difference. Conclusions: Though immunological markers in underweight newborns did not show signifi cant differences regarding groups of hypertensive and non-hypertensive mothers, immunological causes are currently considered one of the most successful theories in the etiology of preeclampsia. |
