In order to evaluate diagnostic and predictive significance of plasma fibronectin in pregnancy induced hypertension(PIH), concentration of plasma fibronectin were measured by Turbidometric End Point method. It is based on 140 cases with PIH, 8
cases
with hypertension only group, 30 cases with proteinuria only group and 112 cases with normal control group, who were admitted to our department from November, 1990 to December, 1993.
Mean concentration of plasma fibronectin were statistically significant between normal and PIH group, 309.09ug/ml versus 413.3ug/ml repectively(P<0.001).
The result suggest that plasma fibronectin is significant in PIH evaluation.
But this study does not confirm the usefulness of prediction of PIH
