Urinary placental growth factor in preeclampsia and fetal growth restriction: An alternative to circulating biomarkers?

Abstract

Urinary PIGF can be used as an alternative to circulating biomarkers in preeclampsia and FGR. Plasma sFlt-1, PlGF and sFlt-1: PlGF ratio as well as urinary PIGF and sFlt-1: PlGF ratio can be used to differentiate between normal pregnancy and pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia and FGR.
