With regard to differences in the clinical symptoms of preeclampsia (PE), the degree of endothelial dysfunction may differ between early and late-onset preeclampsia (EOP and LOP). The authors of this study examined it by assessing the endothelial injury level in women with EOP (20 patients) and LOP (20 patients) and in normotensive pregnant women (20 patients) in their late second and third trimesters of pregnancy, using the two markers-the serum concentration of hyaluronan (HA) and the serum level of soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1). The serum concentrations of HA and sVCAM-1 did not differ significantly between the EOP and LOP patients. However, these were statistically higher than that of the control group participants ( < 0.05; < 0.001). A significant correlation between the levels of HA and sVCAM-1 was found both in the entire group of patients with preeclampsia ( = 0.0277) and in women with late-onset disease ( = 0.0364), but not in the patients with early-onset preeclampsia ( = 0.331). The obtained results indicated a comparable level of endothelial injury in the two types of PE. The presence of a similar degree of endothelial injury in patients with EOP and LOP should create awareness among all clinicians about the possible fatal complications in both groups of patients with PE.
关于子痫前期(PE)临床症状的差异,早发型和晚发型子痫前期(EOP和LOP)的内皮功能障碍程度可能有所不同。本研究的作者通过评估妊娠晚期第二和第三个月EOP患者(20例)、LOP患者(20例)和血压正常的孕妇(20例)的内皮损伤水平进行了研究,使用了两种标志物——透明质酸(HA)的血清浓度和可溶性血管细胞粘附分子-1(sVCAM-1)的血清水平。EOP和LOP患者之间HA和sVCAM-1的血清浓度没有显著差异。然而,这些在统计学上高于对照组参与者(<0.05;<0.001)。在整个子痫前期患者组(=0.0277)和晚发型疾病患者(=0.0364)中均发现HA和sVCAM-1水平之间存在显著相关性,但早发型子痫前期患者中未发现(=0.331)。获得的结果表明两种类型的PE中内皮损伤水平相当。EOP和LOP患者中存在相似程度的内皮损伤,这应该让所有临床医生意识到这两组PE患者可能出现的致命并发症。
