Effect of magnesium sulfate combined with labetalol on serum sFlt-1/PlGF ratio in patients with early-onset severe pre-eclampsia
The aim of the present study was to investigate the therapeutic effect of magnesium sulfate combined with labetalol on the early-onset severe pre-eclampsia (ES-PE) and explore the role of soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlT-1), placental growth factor (PlGF), and sFlt-1/PlGF ratio in the treatm...

Sumario: | The aim of the present study was to investigate the therapeutic effect of magnesium sulfate combined with labetalol on the early-onset severe pre-eclampsia (ES-PE) and explore the role of soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlT-1), placental growth factor (PlGF), and sFlt-1/PlGF ratio in the treatment. A total of 164 ES-PE patients admitted to the Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital of Hubei (Wuhan, China) were assigned to this observational study. Among them, 83 patients were enrolled in group A and treated with magnesium sulfate combined with labetalol hydrochloride, and 81 patients were enrolled in group B and treated with magnesium sulfate. The therapeutic effect, adverse reactions and pregnancy outcomes in the two groups were analyzed. Serum sFlt-1 and PlGF concentrations, before and after treatment, were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to assess the predictive value of pre-treatment serum sFlt-1/PlGF ratio for the clinical outcome. The effective rate was significantly higher in group A than that in group B. Group A presented superior pregnancy outcomes over group B. The serum sFlt-1 concentration and sFlt-1/PlGF ratio after treatment were significantly lower than those before treatment in groups A and B, whereas PlGF concentration was significantly higher after treatment in both groups. After treatment, group A had markedly lower serum sFlt-1 concentration and sFlt-1/PlGF ratio than group B, and markedly higher PlGF concentration than group B. The area under curve (AUC) of serum sFlt-1/PlGF ratio before treatment for the prediction of the clinical efficacy was 0.737. In conclusion, magnesium sulfate combined with labetalol could be effectively used for the treatment of ES-PE. The results of ELISA revealed that the balance of sFlT-1 and PlGF was improved after treatment and the sFlT-1/PlGF ratio was decreased. The assessment of sFlt-1/PlGF ratio before treatment was shown to have a certain predictive value for the efficacy of ES-PE treatment. |
