Abstract
Endoglin is a 180kDa homodimeric transmembrane glycoprotein consisting of 633 amino acids. It is a co-receptor of transforming growth factor TGF-?3. The soluble circulating form (sEng), cleared from membrane bound form (mEng) is an angiogenic factor, which was implicated in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia. Preeclampsia is characterized by high blood pressure (>140/90 mmHg), proteinuria (>300mg/day) after 20 weeks pregnancy in previously normotensive women. Aims and Objectives: To evaluate and compare the level of serum endoglin in preeclamptic women and healthy pregnant women and to correlate serum endoglin levels with blood pressure. Material and Methods: Study type: Case-control study conducted in the Department of Biochemistry and Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, RIMS Imphal Sample size: 30 preeclamtics and 30 healthy pregnant women admitted in antenatal ward, RIMS Study period:2 years Method: Serum Endoglin measured by ELISA method. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 21. P-value <0.05 was considered significant Results: Serum endoglin was found to be higher in cases(14.28±4.09) ng/ml than in controls (7.30±1.12)ng/ml. The levels were found to be positively correlated with both systolic and diastolic BP(r=0.819) and r=0.861 respectively) and were statistically significant(p=0.000) Conclusion: It was evident from the study that the mean serum endoglin levels were higher in preeclamptic women so it has the potential to be used as a new diagnostic biomarker of preeclampsia and as a predictor of disease severity
