Erythropoietin Umbilical Serum Levels During Labor in Women with Preeclampsia, Diabetes, and Preterm Labor

ABSTRACT In this study we determine the erythropoietin levels and hematocrit in 22 women with preterm labor, 21 with insulin-dependent diabetes, 22 with preeclampsia, and 20 with normal gestation. The erythropoietin level was higher in the preeclamptic group than in the diabetic group compared with...

Zusammenfassung:	ABSTRACT In this study we determine the erythropoietin levels and hematocrit in 22 women with preterm labor, 21 with insulin-dependent diabetes, 22 with preeclampsia, and 20 with normal gestation. The erythropoietin level was higher in the preeclamptic group than in the diabetic group compared with the normal and premature groups. There were no hypoxic fetuses. From this study, we found that the mechanism of increased erythropoietin levels in neonates can be different from fetal hypoxia. Further studies are needed on this subject.
