Brief summary
The goal of this observational study is to investigate maternal serum Stathmin-1 levels in pregnancies affected by preeclampsia compared to healthy gestations. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. What are the maternal serum Stathmin-1 levels in pregnancies with preeclampsia? 2. How do Stathmin-1 levels differ between preeclampsia with severe features and uncomplicated pregnancies? Researchers will compare Stathmin-1 levels in pregnancies with preeclampsia and preeclampsia with severe features to those in a control group of healthy pregnancies to assess differences in biomarker levels. Participants will undergo blood sample collection at 32-34 weeks of gestation. Have their blood samples processed for Stathmin-1 level measurement using ELISA.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Gestational Age: Pregnancies between 20 weeks and term (up to 40 weeks). * Diagnosis of Preeclampsia (PE): New-onset hypertension (systolic BP ≥140 mmHg and/or diastolic BP ≥90 mmHg) after 20 weeks of gestation, with or without proteinuria. * Diagnosis of Severe Preeclampsia: Defined by criteria such as severe hypertension (systolic BP ≥160 mmHg or diastolic BP ≥110 mmHg), organ dysfunction (renal insufficiency, liver involvement, neurological complications), thrombocytopenia, pulmonary edema, or fetal growth restriction. * Control Group: Healthy pregnancies without preeclampsia or other significant maternal or fetal complications.
Exclusion criteria
* Multiple Pregnancies: Participants carrying more than one fetus. * Pregestational Diabetes: Pre-existing diabetes mellitus diagnosed before pregnancy. * Chronic Hypertension: Pre-existing hypertension diagnosed before pregnancy or before 20 weeks of gestation. * Systemic Diseases: Chronic kidney disease, autoimmune diseases, or other significant systemic illnesses. * Fetal Anomalies: Identified structural or genetic abnormalities in the fetus. * Premature Rupture of Membranes: Spontaneous rupture of membranes before the onset of labor at term (37 weeks of gestation) or preterm (before 37 weeks of gestation).
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Maternal Serum Stathmin-1 Levels | Measured at the time of diagnosis and followed up until delivery. | To identify and compare Maternal Serum Stathmin-1 Levels levels between the pre-eclampsia group, severe pre-eclampsia group, and the control group. This will help in understanding the biochemical environment associated with pre-eclampsia and its severity. |
