Abstract

Background: Pre-eclampsia associated hyponatraemia is a very rare condition that can potentially lead to serious maternal and fetal complications and that constitute a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge even for an experienced physician.

Case report: A 25-year old female presented to the clinic at 25.3 weeks of gestation with mild physical signs of edema along with hypertension, proteinuria, and a severe hyponatremia (113?mEq/L). Hyponatremia was classified as hypervolemic and resolved 72 hours after the delivery with water restriction.

Conclusions: The pathogenesis of pre-eclampsia associated hyponatremia is relatively unknown. A non-osmotic stimulation of vasopresin release in the setting of a hypervolemic state with low effective circulating plasma volume is thought to be the main mechanism. Advanced maternal age and nephrotic range proteinuria have been postulated as risk factors, but their causal role remains unclear. Fluid restriction is a reasonable treatment, and maternal outcomes are favourable. This condition is a rare indication for urgent delivery, but neonatal outcomes are variable.  相似文献

Objective: The objective was to evaluate some inflammatory mediators, i.e. cytokines that induce and inhibit nitric oxide (NO) synthase, in pregnant women with pre-eclampsia/eclampsia (PE/E) compared to clinically normal patients.

Methods: Placental fragments were collected from 46 pregnant patients, including 30 clinically normal subjects and 16 women with PE/E, and stored in NP40-containing phosphate buffer in a freezer at ?70?°C until the time of solubilization. Cytokines IL-4, IL-10, IL-13, TNF-α and IFN-γ were assayed by ELISA and NO was estimated by the Griess reaction after reduction.

Results: Patients with PE/E presented significantly lower placental levels of IL-10 and IL-3 than the control group (p?<?0.05). On the other hand, IL-4, TNF-α and IFN-γ levels were similar on the two groups, whereas nitrite/nitrate levels were significantly lower in the PE/E group. A higher inflammatory balance was observed in patients with PE/E compared to normal subjects (p?<?0.05).

Conclusion: Patients with PE/E present lower levels of Th2 cytokines associated with a pro-inflammatory balance as evaluated by the IL-10/TNF-α ratio, as well as lower nitrite/nitrate levels, than controls.  相似文献

Maternal and fetal plasma zinc in pre-eclampsia.   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Zinc is important for fetal growth and is involved in several important enzyme systems. Maternal and umbilical plasma zinc concentrations were determined in 52 parturient women with mild and severe pre-eclampsia, and were compared with those obtained from 20 women in labor whose pregnancies had progressed normally. A decrease in maternal as well as umbilical plasma zinc concentrations was observed in pre-eclamptic women, and this decrease was statistically significant in severe pre-eclampsia. The causes of these changes in plasma zinc concentrations in pre-eclampsia were discussed, and the possible adverse effects of zinc deficiency on the mother and fetus were mentioned. Low plasma zinc concentrations in pre-eclampsia may be a sign of zinc deficiency, implying possible risks to the mother and her fetus. It is recommended that maintenance of adequate dietary zinc nutrition during pregnancy, and particularly in pre-eclampsia, is important.  相似文献

Objective  To assess maternal cardiac function in nulliparous women in the first trimester of pregnancy and evaluate its potential role for predicting pre-eclampsia and small for gestational age (SGA).
Design  Prospective, observational, cross-sectional study.
Setting  Maternity unit of a teaching hospital.
Population  Nulliparous women with singleton pregnancies presenting consecutively for routine antenatal care ( n = 534).
Methods  Two-dimensional and M-mode echocardiography and uterine artery Dopplers were carried out at 11-14 weeks.
Main outcome measures  Cardiac output (CO), stroke volume (SV), mean arterial pressure (MAP), total vascular resistance and uterine artery pulsatility index (UAPI) were compared in four outcome groups according to the development of pre-eclampsia and/or SGA.
Results  Compared with the normal outcome group ( n = 457), in those with pre-eclampsia but not SGA ( n = 8), CO and MAP were increased; in the group with pre-eclampsia and SGA ( n = 19) MAP, TRP and UAPI were increased and in the group with SGA but no pre-eclampsia ( n = 50) total peripheral resistance and UAPI were increased. Independent predictors of pre-eclampsia were MAP, SV and UAPI and of SGA SV and UAPI.
Conclusions  Alterations in maternal cardiac function and UAPI are observed in the first trimester of pregnancy in nulliparous women that subsequently develop pre-eclampsia and/or SGA.  相似文献

Purpose: To compare serum humanin concentrations in pregnant women with and without pre-eclampsia (PE).

Materials and methods: A case-control study where pregnant women (PE group, n?=?37; control group, n?=?34) studied through history parameters (gynecological, obstetrical, personal, and family), physical and sonographic examination parameters [body mass index (BMI), blood pressure obstetrical ultrasound], and biochemical/hormonal assays [creatinine, urea, serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT), serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT), uric acid, platelets, urinary protein, and humanin].

Results: There was no difference in basic characteristics between women with PE and control, except in parity and gravidity. Humanin concentrations were higher in women with PE compared to controls (422.2?±?33.5 vs. 319.1?±?28.1?pg/ml, p?=?0.023). In a binary logistic analysis, humanin was associated with the presence of PE [odds ratio 1.003, 95% confidence interval (CI); 1.000–1.006]. The ability of humanin to discriminate between women with PE and controls was evaluated by receiver operation characteristics (ROC) analysis [area under the curve (AUC) 0.639, 95% CI; 0.510–0.768, p?=?0.045].

Conclusions: Serum humanin concentrations are increased in women with PE, compared to women with uncomplicated pregnancies, suggesting a potential protective role of humanin against the oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction occurring in PE.  相似文献

Objectives: The objective of the study was to evaluate the association of maternal plasma levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) at late second and third trimester and the risk of pre-eclampsia.

Methods: In this prospective cohort study, maternal plasma 25(OH)D levels were measured at late second and third trimester in 77 women who later developed pre-eclampsia (31 non-severe and 46 severe cases) and 180 women without pre-eclampsia.

Results: The mean gestational age of the timing of the blood sampling was 31.1?±?4.4 at control group, 32.6?±?5.7 at non-severe pre-eclamptic group and 32.3?±?5.4 at severe pre-eclamptic group. The mean 25(OH)D concentration was significantly low in severe pre-eclampsia group (5.8?±?4.5?ng/ml) than non-severe pre-eclampsia (11.8?±?7.3?ng/ml, p?=?0.039) and control groups (14.9?±?12.0?ng/ml, p?<?0.0001). There was no statistically significant difference in 25(OH)D concentration between non-severe pre-eclamptic and control groups (p?=?0.404). In women with 25(OH)D concentration <20?ng/ml, a 12.45-fold increase in the odds of severe pre-eclampsia were detected.

Conclusion: Women with severe pre-eclampsia had low serum 25(OH)D levels. The correlation between maternal 25(OH)D levels and aspartate aminotransferase, alanine transaminase, serum creatinine levels, platelet count were not determined. 25(OH)D levels may be used as an independent predictive marker of severe pre-eclampsia.  相似文献

AIM: To determine if plasma lipoprotein(a) levels are elevated in pre-eclampsia and if so, their association with the severity of the disease. METHODS: Ninety-one pre-eclamptic (48 mild, 43 severe) and 40 healthy normotensive pregnant women at more than 32 gestational weeks were recruited into study. Plasma levels of lipoprotein(a), lipids, total protein, albumin and fibrinogen were measured in all subjects. RESULTS: All groups were comparable with respect to maternal age, maternal weight, gravidity and parity. Platelet count, total serum protein and albumin levels were significantly decreased, whereas fibrinogen levels significantly increased in the pre-eclamptic group. There was no difference between the groups with respect to total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein levels. In the pre-eclampsic group, triglyceride and very-low-density lipoprotein concentrations were significantly higher, whereas high-density lipoprotein levels were significantly lower. No difference in serum lipoprotein(a) levels was found between the three groups. CONCLUSIONS: No statistically significant difference existed between normotensive pregnant, and pre-eclamptic women, with regard to plasma lipoprotein(a) levels. It is improbable that high serum lipoprotein(a) levels are risk factors for the development of pre-eclampsia; however, elevated triglyceride-rich lipoproteins might cause endothelial damage leading to pre-eclampsia.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase traffic inducer (NOSTRIN) in the placenta of women with pre-eclampsia (PE) and discuss its role in the pathogenesis of PE. METHODS: Western blot analysis was used to detect the expression of NOSTRIN and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). The activity of eNOS in placental tissue was assayed by spectrophotometry. Serum and placental NO(2)/NO(3), the stable metabolic end product of NO, was measured using nitrate reductase. RESULTS: Western blot analysis showed that the protein level of NOSTRIN was significantly higher in women with PE than in the control group (P<0.01). However, no significant difference between groups was observed in the expression of placental eNOS (P>0.05). The activity of eNOS was significantly decreased in women with PE (13.727+/-3.58 U/mg) compared with the control group (21.69+/-3.84 U/mg) (P<0.01). The placental levels of NO(2)/NO(3) were significantly lower in women with PE (27.53+/-8.51 micromol/mg) than in the control group (44.38+/-9.59 micromol/mg) (P<0.01). The levels of serum NO(2)/NO(3) were significantly lower in women with PE (48.56+/-8.49 micromol/L) than in the control group (65.37+/-9.61 micromol/L) (P<0.01). A significant negative correlation existed between the expression of NOSTRIN protein and the activity of eNOS in the placental tissues of women with PE (r=-0.57, P<0.01). CONCLUSION: The level of NOSTRIN expression in the placental tissues of women with PE is increased and is negatively correlated with the activity of eNOS-which may play an important role in the pathogenesis of PE.  相似文献

Objective: The study was aimed to compare trace elements concentrations in women with and without severe pre-eclampsia (PE). Methods: A prospective case-control study was conducted comparing 43 parturients with severe PE (who received magnesium sulfate [MgSO4]) and 80 healthy parturients and their newborns, matched for gestational age and mode of delivery. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS) was used for the determination of zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), selenium (Se) and magnesium (Mg) levels in maternal as well as arterial and venous umbilical cord serum. Results: Zn levels (µg/L) were significantly higher in fetal arterial and venous blood of the PE group (947.3?±?42.5 vs. 543.1?±?226, 911.1?±?220.2 vs. 422.4?±?145, p?<?0.001; respectively). Se levels (µg/L) were significantly lower in maternal and fetal arterial and venous cord blood of the PE group (98.6?±?24.2, 110.7?±?19.4, 82?±?17.8 vs. 111.6?±?17.6, 82.1?±?17.4 vs. 107.1?±?25.7, p?<?0.001; respectively). Cu levels (µg/L) were significantly lower in fetal arterial and venous cord blood (581.6?±?367.4 vs. 949?±?788.8, p?=?0.022, 608.3?±?418.1 vs. 866.9?±?812.6, p?=?0.001 respectively) but higher in maternal blood (2264.6?±?751.7 vs. 1048?±?851.1, p?<?0.001). These differences remained significant while controlling for the mode of delivery. Mg levels were significantly higher in the PE group as compared with the control group. Conclusions: Severe PE is associated with abnormal concentrations of Zn, Cu and Se. Therefore, trace elements may have a crucial role in the pathogenesis of severe PE.  相似文献

Objective  The placenta produces reactive oxygen species (ROS) including nitric oxide (NO) and peroxynitrite (ONOO) that have pronounced effects on placental function. Excessive ROS production may occur in pathological pregnancies, such as those complicated by small-for-gestational-age (SGA) fetuses.
Design  The aim of the present work was to study NO and ONOO levels in platelets of pregnant women with SGA fetuses compared with a control group.
Setting and population  The study was performed on 30 pregnant women with SGA fetuses (SGA group) and on 30 healthy pregnant women (appropriate-for-gestational-age [AGA] group) matched for maternal and gestational age. All women included in this study were in the third trimester of pregnancy.
Methods  Platelets were isolated by differential centrifugation. NO metabolites, after enzymatic conversion followed by the Griess reaction, were measured as nitrite by spectrophotometric detection. Peroxynitrite (ONOO) levels were evaluated using the fluorescence probe 2,7-dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCFDA).
Main outcome measures  The following determinations were made: platelet nitric oxide and peroxynitrite levels in the SGA group and controls; inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and nitrotyrosine (N-Tyr) expression in the same groups.
Results  Our results show that both platelet NO and ONOO levels were significantly higher in the SGA group than in the controls.
Conclusion  Increased platelets levels of nitric oxide and peroxynitrite might play a role in the pathophysiology of intrauterine growth restriction. Further investigations are in progress to clarify if these molecules are pathogenetic factors, an epiphenomenon or a pathophysiological marker.  相似文献

Objective: To compare differences in blood pressure levels between patients with severe post-partum pre-eclampsia using ibuprofen or acetaminophen.

Methods: A randomized controlled trial was made in women with severe pre-eclampsia or superimposed pre-eclampsia after vaginal birth. The patient was randomly selected to receive either 400?mg of ibuprofen every 8?h or 1?g of acetaminophen every 6?h during the post-partum. The primary variable was systolic hypertension ≥150?mmHg and/or diastolic hypertension ≥100?mmHg after the first 24?h post-partum. Secondary variables were the arterial blood pressure readings at 24, 48, 72, and 96?h post-partum and maternal complications.

Results: A total of 113 patients were studied: 56 in the acetaminophen group and 57 in the ibuprofen group. With regard to the primary outcome, more cases were significantly hypertensive in the ibuprofen group (36/57; 63.1%) than in the acetaminophen group (16/56; 28.6%). Severe hypertension (≥160/110?mmHg) was not significantly different between the groups, 14.5% (acetaminophen) and 24.5% (ibuprofen). The levels of arterial blood pressure show a hammock-shaped curve independent of the drug used, however, is more noticeable with ibuprofen.

Conclusions: This study shows that ibuprofen significantly elevates blood pressure in women with severe pre-eclampsia during the post-partum period.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: We aimed to (i) assess maternal and perinatal outcomes in pre-eclampsia at < 25(0) weeks; and (ii) determine if any antenatal factors were associated with adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes. DESIGN: A retrospective study. SETTING: Tertiary referral hospital, Auckland, New Zealand. METHODS: Data were extracted from the clinical record and hospital database. The study population involved women admitted with pre-eclampsia at < 25(0) weeks, with a live singleton pregnancy, from 1997 to 2004 and managed expectantly. OUTCOME MEASURES: Maternal morbidity, perinatal death, neurodevelopmental outcome at 18 months, small for gestational age assessed by population and customised birthweight centiles. RESULTS: Gestation at admission was the only antenatal variable associated with adverse perinatal outcome. Of 14 women admitted < 23 weeks, no babies survived, but eight (62%) babies of women admitted in the 24th week (24(0)-24(6)) survived. Neurodevelopmental outcome was assessed in eight of nine survivors; two (25%) had moderate and two (25%) had minor disability. All babies in this cohort had birthweights < 5th customised centile. Only one baby (10%) weighing < 500 g survived. CONCLUSION: Maternal morbidity was high in this expectantly managed cohort. As no babies survived when pre-eclampsia occurred before 23 weeks, induction of labour should be considered. In the 24th week two-thirds of babies survived and 25% had moderate handicap. This information may help clinicians and women in the future to make informed choices about management.  相似文献

Objective:  To investigate the total plasma anti-oxidant status, the plasma lipid profile and the uterine artery Doppler velocity waveform in formerly pre-eclamptic women.
Methods:  Thirty-two formerly pre-eclamptic, non-gravida women constituted the study group, while 28 age-matched non-gravida women who had never had pre-eclampsia served as control subjects. On days 17–19 of their menstrual cycle, fasting plasma samples were collected for total anti-oxidant status (TAS) and lipid profile evaluation, and uterine artery Doppler velocity waveform studies were performed. Results were analyzed with Mann–Whitney U -test and Pearson correlation analysis.
Results:  There was no significant difference between the groups in means of the uterine artery Doppler velocity waveforms and the plasma lipid levels, but body mass index values were significant ( P  < 0.005). The TAS value was subnormal in 72% of the formerly pre-eclamptic group and in 35% of the control group. The mean plasma TAS value was 1.20 ± 0.05 mmol/L and was significantly lower in the study group when compared with the control group ( P  < 0.05).
Conclusion:  The current study reveals significantly decreased TAS in women with a history of pre-eclampsia, which may have an important role in pathophysiology.  相似文献

Soluble Flt-1 as a diagnostic marker of pre-eclampsia   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
BACKGROUND: Serum levels of soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase (sFlt-1) increase in pre-eclampsia (PE). Aims: To determine whether concentrations of serum sFlt-1 can differentiate PE or superimposed PE (SPE) from gestational hypertension (GH) or chronic hypertension (CH). METHODS: Blood was collected from pregnant women being investigated for hypertension (blood pressure of > 140 and/or 90 mmHg). Normotensive (NP) and pre-eclamptic (PE-C) control ranges were measured. RESULTS: Patients with evolving hypertension in pregnancy eventually fell into four groups: GH (n = 14), PE (n = 7), CH (n = 9) and SPE (n = 9). Patients who later developed pre-eclampsia had a higher sFlt-1 (PE: 2.61 ng/mL and SPE: 2.77 ng/mL, respectively) than GH (P < 0.001) or CH (1.05 ng/mL, P = 0.11). Women with established PE at recruitment (PE-C; (n = 18) (3.13 ng/mL; interquartile range (IQR): 2.14-4.17 ng/mL) had a median sFlt-1 higher than NP (n = 18) (0.47 ng/mL; IQR: 0.11-0.89) (P < 0.0008). Patients with GH compared to NP had a slight increase (1.33 ng/mL, P < 0.003). Using a sFlt-1 cut-off of > or = 1.9 ng/mL yielded a sensitivity of 94% (95% confidence interval (CI) 73-100%) and specificity of 78% (95% CI 64-82%). CONCLUSIONS: sFlt-1 was elevated in women with PE compared to NP. The sFlt-1 also differentiated women destined to develop PE among those who presented with a diagnostic rise in maternal blood pressure. The sFlt-1 test is a useful diagnostic test for PE.  相似文献

Insulinomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors with an incidence of 4 per 1 000 000 person-years, being even rarer during pregnancy. During pregnancy most cases are recognized or become symptomatic during the first trimester.

A 29-year-old woman, primigravida, was hospitalized in the 38th gestational week due to slurred speech, weakness and slow reaction patterns. An electroencephalogram and computed tomography scan of the brain and blood samples were normal. Blood pressure was 170–145/110–95 mmHg, albuminuria was moderate and there was moderate edema of the ankles. Labor started spontaneously the third day, 62 h after of hospitalization, and the patient gave birth to a healthy girl with no neonatal problems. Fourteen hours after delivery, the patient became comatose and developed universal clonic seizures. At the same time plasma glucose was <1.1 mmol/l and the patient responded immediately to intravenous glucose. The patient was managed with frequent small meals and continuous intravenous glucose. Postpartum testing was consistent with insulinoma and diazoxide treatment was initiated. Endoscopic ultrasound with biopsy showed an insulinoma in the head of the pancreas. During surgical exploration, four separate insulinomas were removed from the head of the pancreas. The hypoglycemic episodes resolved and the glucose levels normalized.

Following biochemical diagnosis of insulinoma, diagnostic imaging procedures encountered include endoscopic ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging and digital subtraction angiography. Of isotopic procedures, somatostatin receptor scintigraphy (Octreoscan) and newer receptor binding ligands can be used in non-pregnant women. Intraoperative ultrasonography seems mandatory.

The present case demonstrates that seizure disorders in non-diabetic pregnant women may be caused by hyperinsulinemia-induced hypoglycemia due to insulinoma.  相似文献
