摘要
OBJECTIVE: To estimate whether antiphospholipid antibodies, specifically anticardiolipin and anti-beta(2)-glycoprotein-I antibodies, are associated with preeclampsia. METHODS: Plasma was prospectively obtained from four groups of pregnant women: those with 1).mild preeclampsia (n = 109); 2) severe preeclampsia (n = 134); 3) hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, low platelets (HELLP) syndrome (n = 57); and 4) normotensive controls (n = 100). Anticardiolipin and anti-beta(2)-glycoprotein-I levels were determined by enzyme-linked immunoassay. RESULTS: Subjects with mild preeclampsia, severe preeclampsia, and HELLP syndrome did not have significantly elevated levels of immunoglobulin G (IgG) and IgM anticardiolipin and anti-beta(2)-glycoprotein-I antibodies compared with normotensive controls (P > .05, Kruskal-Wallis). Similarly, subjects with mild preeclampsia, severe preeclampsia, and HELLP syndrome did not have a significantly higher proportion of women testing positive for each autoantibody compared with normotensive controls (chi(2)). The proportion of patients testing positive for anticardiolipin and anti-beta(2)-glycoprotein-I antibodies were similar in patients with preeclampsia developing before and after 34 weeks' gestation (chi(2)). CONCLUSION: Circulating levels of both anticardiolipin and anti-beta(2)-glycoprotein-I antibodies were not increased in patients with mild preeclampsia, severe preeclampsia, or HELLP syndrome compared with normotensive controls. Our data do not support routine testing for anticardiolipin and anti-beta(2)-glycoprotein-I antibodies in women with preeclampsia.
