Trial summary

Hypertensive diseases of pregnancy are one of the most frequently encountered reasons for maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. The excretion of high levels of mucoprotein takes part in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia through restraining trophoblast invasion. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Investigation of the Serum MUC3 Protein Levels in Gestational Hypertensive Disease (Preeclampsia-Eclampsia, Pregnancy Induced Hypertension, and HELLP Syndrome) Compared With Normal Pregnancy

Hypertensive diseases of pregnancy are one of the most frequently encountered reasons for maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. The excretion of high levels of mucoprotein takes part in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia through restraining trophoblast invasion. This study aimed to investigate levels of serum mucoprotein three in hypertensive diseases of pregnancy. This study included a total of eighty cases that 20 normal pregnancy, 20 gestational hypertension, 20 preeclampsia, and 20 HELLP syndrome patients from June 2010- January 2011.

Hypertensive diseases of pregnancy are one of the most frequently encountered reasons for maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. The excretion of high levels of mucoprotein takes part in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia through restraining trophoblast invasion. This study aimed to investigate levels of serum mucoprotein three in hypertensive diseases of pregnancy. This study included a total of eighty cases that 20 normal pregnancy, 20 gestational hypertension, 20 preeclampsia, and 20 HELLP syndrome patients from June 2010- January 2011. This is the first study measuring levels of serum mucoprotein three in gestational hypertensive disease. MUC3 levels showed a distinctive increase in hypertensive diseases of pregnancy compared with the pregnant control group. As a result, it is found that plasma mucoprotein 3 levels increase as the severity of hypertensive diseases of pregnancy increases; and plasma mucoprotein 3 could be a precursor for the evaluation of the severity of the disease.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Collection of Blood Samples

    The blood samples required for the study were obtained from samples taken into a heparinized tube. Maternal blood samples were taken at the time of diagnosis in patients with preeclamptic - eclamptic, gestational hypertension and HELLP syndrome before starting any treatment when they apply for delivery in normal pregnant women. After the blood samples were centrifuged at Eppendorf Centrifuge-5084R at 3000 G for 10 minutes, the serum was separated. Some of the serum collected were placed in a 1.5 cc Eppendorf tube and stored at -80 ˚C in the medical cooler (Ariston) in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Measurement of Mucoprotein in Serum

    After collecting all serum samples (80 pieces), they were dissolved at room temperature and MUC3 (Human Mucin 3, MUC3 ELISA Kit) level was measured in serum samples with the help of commercial ELISA kits. The measurement technique principle is given below.Mucoprotein content in serum was determined in ng/ml with the help of a special ELISA kit system and elements for mucoprotein 3.

    Measured: 1 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Muc3 and Pregnancy Induced Hypertension, run by Karadeniz Technical University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Jun 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Collection of Blood Samples (time frame: 6 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Jun 2020.
