CLINICAL VALUE OF PLACENTAL GROWTH FACTOR AS A DIAGNOSTIC MARKER IN TUBAL PREGNANCY
Ahmed Samir Ahmed Aly;
Abstract
Ectopic pregnancy presents a major health problem for women of child bearing age , it is a result of flaw in the human reproductive physiology that allows the conceptus to implant and mature outside the endometrial cavity , which ultimately ends in death of the fetus. Tubal ectopic pregnancy is an important cause of maternal morbidity that can be fatal if left undiagnosed due to the risk of potential tubal rupture and haemorrhage .
Ectopic pregnancy most often is associated with risk factors leading to tubal epithelial damage that alters gamete and embryo transport , these risk factors can be divided into high , moderate and low risk factors .
The incidence of tubal ectopic pregnancy is increasing worldwide most likely due to arising incidence of pelvic inflammatory diseases caused by Chlamydia-Trachomatis infection and the increased use of assisted reproductive techniques .
Ectopic pregnancy is usually diagnosed in the first trimester of pregnancy . the most common gestational age of diagnosis is 6-10 weeks , but fetal viability can be discovered until the time of delivery .
The physical findings depend on whether tubal rupture has occurred or not . Women with intraperitoneal haemorrhage present with significant abdominal pain and tenderness along with various degrees of haemodynamic instability .
Initial evaluation of the patient with suspected ectopic pregnancy should include a thorough history and physical examination. Detailed medical , surgical and social histories are important to discover potential risk factors for ectopic pregnancy. An accurate menstrual history provides valuable information regarding gestational age , particularly in women with regular menstrual cycles .
Placental growth factor is a protein that is produced by the early embryo to promote the development of a vascular
