Abstract
Aim:To investigate and evaluate serum levels of amyloid A in PET and healthy gestations, to help in detection of a correlation between PET and serum levels of amyloid A. Methodology: A randomized case control research study conducted at Ain-Shams University Maternity Hospital, Cairo, Egypt in a period of 6 months. There was 102 study subjects in the total cohort ; 51 cases diagnosed with preeclampsia and 51 study subjects with normal gestations as a control research group. Results: The median serum level of amyloid-A was statistically significantly higher in women of PE research group in comparison to women of the control research group (p value
