C-reactive protein in pregnancy and in the postpartum period
Y Romem, R Artal - American journal of obstetrics and gynecology, 1985 - Elsevier
Serum C-reactive protein levels were measured by means of the nephelometric
immunoassay technique in 215 pregnant women at various gestational ages. The results
indicate a positive correlation of serum C-reactive protein levels with gestational age. In
addition, we studied serum C-reactive protein concentrations in 37 pregnant women in labor
and during the postpartum period. Delivery was accomplished by either the vaginal or
abdominal route and was associated with significant C-reactive protein production.
