ABSTRACT

Introduction: The detection of the imbalance between proangiogenic/antiangiogenic factors (sFlt-1, PlGF, sFlt-1/PlGF ratio), in maternal blood are prognostic and diagnostic tools in preeclampsia.
Objective: To determine the correlation between blood values of (sFlt-1, PlGF, sFlt-1/PlGF ratio) and complications in women with severe preeclampsia.
Material and methods: Women who were admitted to the ICU with a diagnosis of preeclampsia with severity criteria were studied, clinical and laboratory variables were determined. Serum concentrations of sFlt-1, PLGF were performed with a KRYPTOR compact Plus automatic equipment.
Results: 33.3% were early preeclampsia and 66.7% late. The severity criteria occurred with 66.7% with hypertensive crisis and 33.3% with hypertensive encephalopathy. There was a negative correlation between the values of sFlt-1 and urea, creatinine, urine proteins in 24 hours, systolic pressure (ASD), diastolic pressure (ADT). The correlation was poor and not statistically significant. There was a positive and statistically significant correlation for uric acid. There was a negative correlation between PlGF values in TAS, TAD. There was no correlation between the sFlt-1/PlGF quotient values and the variables measured as TAS, TAD.
Conclusions: This study confirms that it is possible to identify an angiogenic imbalance in women with severe preeclampsia. However, the angiogenic markers did not show a statistically significant correlation, with respect to the clinical and biochemical variables of preeclampsia in the Intensive Care Unit.
