Abstract:Pregnant women at risk of preterm birth may be easily identified and sent to tertiary care centres for further therapy. Numerous biomarkers are being investigated for their ability to predict preterm labour; serum ferritin is one of these indicators. It is an intracellular protein that has a role in iron storage and is also an acute phase reactant that is increased during acute and chronic infections. To evaluate serum ferritin levels in preterm labour and perinatal outcome in a tertiary care centre during 2 y… Show more
