초록

Objective To evaluate the clinical signifi cance of soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase1 (sFlt-1), soluble endoglin (sEng) and placental growth factor (PlGF) in preeclampsia.
Methods We conducted a case-control study analyzing serum levels of sFlt-1, sEng and PlGF in women with preeclampsia (n=30) and normal pregnancy (n=30) in the third trimester. We calculated the sensitivity, specifi city, positive, and negative predictive values of each peptide in diagnosing preeclampsia.
Results The mean serum level of sFlt-1 and sEng in women with preeclampsia was significantly higher than normal pregnancy. But the mean serum level of PIGF had no signifi cant difference between two groups. The cut-off values of sFlt-1 and sEng showing differential signifi cance were 26.3 ng/mL and 21.1 ng/mL each. Then the sensitivity, specifi city, positive predictive value, negative predictive value was all over 80%. Serum levels of sFlt-1 and sEng were not signifi cantly different between intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and non-IUGR group among preeclamptic women.
Conclusion Serum levels of both sFlt-1 and sEng may be useful in diagnosing patients with preeclampsia. The serum levels of these factors may not correlate with poor perinatal outcomes.
