Increased inflammatory response and imbalance in blood and urinary oxidant–antioxidant status in South Indian women with gestational hypertension and preeclampsia
The objective of this study is to assess the association of blood and urinary oxidative stress parameters and inflammatory markers in women with gestational hypertension and preeclampsia. Malondialdehyde, protein bound sialic acid and C-reactive protein were estimated in serum and urine of pregnant...

Summary: | The objective of this study is to assess the association of blood and urinary oxidative stress parameters and inflammatory markers in women with gestational hypertension and preeclampsia.
Malondialdehyde, protein bound sialic acid and C-reactive protein were estimated in serum and urine of pregnant women diagnosed with preeclampsia (n=30) and gestational hypertension (n=30) and the results were compared with 30 normal pregnant women.
Whole blood glutathione level was reduced, and malondialdehyde and C-reactive protein levels were significantly higher and correlated with each other in preeclampsia (p |
