The Comparison of Serum CA-125 Levels in Women with Normal Pregnancy and Severe and Non-Severe Preeclampsia
Background and Objective: In pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia, it seems that failure of trophoblast invasion and induction of placental inflammation can lead to the production of biomarkers, one of which is CA-125.

| description | Background and Objective: In pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia, it seems that failure of trophoblast invasion and induction of placental inflammation can lead to the production of biomarkers, one of which is CA-125. The aim of this study is to investigate serum CA-125 levels in non-severe and severe preeclampsia and compare it with normal pregnancy.
Methods: This retrospective case-control study was conducted on 30 women with normal pregnancy, 27 women with mild preeclampsia and 30 women with severe preeclampsia referring to the midwifery clinic of Shahid Motahari Hospital in Urmia who met the inclusion criteria. The data evaluated in this study included gestational age, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, platelet, AST, ALT, serum creatinine, serum uric acid, serum CA-125 levels, urinary protein level and birth weight. Venous blood samples were collected at delivery for complete blood count, creatinine, uric acid and CA-125 concentration from all participants. Then the results were compared.
Findings: The results of the present study showed that the mean CA-125 of women in the control group was 17.83±5.37 u/ml, in the mild preeclampsia group was 40.64±12.40 and in the severe preeclampsia group was 71.73±48.90, which indicates that this value is high in mild preeclampsia compared to the control group as well as severe preeclampsia compared to the other two groups. Statistical comparisons showed that there is a significant relationship between serum CA-125 levels in women with normal pregnancy and non-severe and severe preeclampsia (p<0.001).
Conclusion: The results of the present study showed that CA-125 is associated with the occurrence of preeclampsia (mild and severe) and can be helpful as a marker in the diagnosis of preeclampsia, especially its severe type. Moreover, due to the relationship between this marker and a wide range of other variables, paying attention to its serum level along with other paraclinical variables can be helpful in better diagnosis and management of patients. |
