Effective prediction of preeclampsia by a combined ratio of angiogenesis-related factors.
Imbalance between angiogenesis-related factors is closely related to the development of preeclampsia. The objective was to estimate the most effective and accurate predictive biomarker among levels and ratios of angiogenesis-related factors, including soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 (sFlt-1), soluble endoglin, placental growth factor (PlGF), and transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1), in women who subsequently developed preeclampsia. ⋯ II.
