The clinical use of inflammatory markers during pregnancy

There is overwhelming evidence that intrauterine infection and inflammation play an important role in the pathogenesis of spontaneous preterm labor, preterm prelabor rupture of the membranes and fetal injury resulting in long-term sequelae.

description There is overwhelming evidence that intrauterine infection and inflammation play an important role in the pathogenesis of spontaneous preterm labor, preterm prelabor rupture of the membranes and fetal injury resulting in long-term sequelae. Early diagnosis of subclinical infection and inflammation may therefore aid clinicians institute interventions focusing on such adverse outcomes. Biomarkers of intrauterine inflammation such as interleukin-6, although sensitive, are not specific. Thus, decision to deliver remote from term because of intrauterine infection and/or inflammation should be based on clinical signs and/or bacterial culture or Gram stain of amniotic fluid. In patients with preterm contractions and intact membranes, the risk of delivery is 1% within the week following a negative fetal fibronectin in cervicovaginal secretions. This aids to decide whether antenatal steroids should be administered to patients presenting with preterm contractions between 24 and 34 weeks' gestation. Biomarkers in cervical secretions and amniotic fluid identify those who may benefit from cerclage when the cervix is shortened (
