Ischemia-modified albumin as an oxidative stress marker in preeclampsia

Methods. aEuro integral Serum ischaemia-modified albumin levels were measured in 18 normotensive and 36 preeclamptic pregnant women by enzyme linked immuno-sorbent assay. Patients were subdivided as having either mild (n == 18) or severe preeclampsia (n == 18). Receiver operating characteristic curve was constructed, and sensitivity and specificity were calculated based on the best cut-off. Results. aEuro integral IMA levels were significantly higher in the mild and severe preeclamptic groups than in the control group. IMA with a cut-off point of 0.31 identified women with preeclampsia with sensitivity 80%% and specificity 77.8%%. Conclusion. aEuro integral Our study demonstrates that serum levels of IMA correlate with severity of preeclampsia.
