简要总结
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease associated with pelvic pain, dyspareunia, and impaired ovarian reserve. Cancer antigen-125 (CA-125) is widely studied but limited by low specificity, while angiopoietin-like protein-4 (ANGPTL4) has emerged as a potential biomarker due to its role in angiogenesis and inflammation. In the current study it was aimed to investigate serum and peritoneal fluid ANGPTL4 levels in women with endometriosis compared to healthy controls, and to evaluate their associations with clinical symptoms, serum CA-125, and anti-Müllerian hormone levels.
