Prospects of laboratory diagnostics in obstetrics (according to the materials of the 20-th European Congress of clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, EuroMedLab 2013)

Abstract

Diagnostic and therapy monitoring prospectives and challenges with pregnant women of different gestational age have been analysed and reviewed. The advanced laboratory techniques for the prediction of preeclampsia and fetal growth restriction, as well as such biomarkers as placental growth factor, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, holotranscobalamin, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, B-type natriuretic peptide and cardiac troponin I are discussed.).
