Complement Split Products in Amniotic Fluid in Pregnancies Subsequently Developing Early-Onset Preeclampsia

Figure 2

Second-trimester amniotic fluid concentrations of complement split products C4a and C5a. (a) Median levels of amniotic fluid C4a in normal pregnant women (129.6 ng/mL) versus pregnant women who subsequently developed early-onset preeclampsia (126.4 ng/mL) were not significantly different. (b) Median levels of amniotic fluid C5a in normal pregnant (2.663 ng/mL) versus early-onset preeclampsia patients (2.842 ng/mL) were not significantly different.
