Despite major advances in the field of obstetrics and progress
of other obstetric complications, current treatment modalities are not
able to decrease the incidence of preterm labor (PL) and preterm
premature rupture of membranes (PPROM). Recent studies support
the role of infection in the etiology of PL. As an acute phase reactant
ferritin levels increase in acute inflammation and inflammatory
process. The aim of this study is to compare serum levels of ferritin
in patients with PL and PPROM at 25-37th weeks of gestation
and healthy controls. This study includes 51 healthy women and
51 patients with PL and/or PPROM. Venous blood samples were
taken for measurement of complete blood count and ferritin values.
Serum ferritin, hemoglobin, white blood cell and platelet values of
three groups were compared. In both PL group and PPROM group
serum ferritin levels were higher than control group (14.71±14.70,
12.29±10.89 and 6.05±4.33 recspectively) and the difference was
statistically significant (p<0.005) but serum ferritin levels showed
no statistically significant difference between the PL and PPROM
groups. In conclusion, ferritine as an acute phase reactant increases
in PL and PPROM patients. Serum ferritin levels can be used as a
marker in diagnosis and follow up of these patients.
