Prostasin Levels in Preeclamptic Women

Completed
Conditions
Pre-Eclampsia
Registration Number
NCT06623942
Lead Sponsor
Başakşehir Çam & Sakura City Hospital
Brief Summary

This study will aim to compare maternal serum prostasin levels between women diagnosed with preeclampsia and healthy normotensive pregnant controls. Participants will be divided into two main groups: those with preeclampsia and those with uncomplicated pregnancies. The preeclampsia group will further be subdivided based on the severity of the condition. Maternal serum samples will be collected from all participants, and prostasin levels will be measured using ELISA. Statistical analyses will be performed to evaluate whether prostasin levels are significantly elevated in the preeclampsia group, particularly in those with severe features, and to assess its potential as a biomarker for the condition.
