Complement activation, circulating protease inhibitors and pregnancy-associated proteins in severe pre-eclampsia.
Circulating protease inhibitors, pregnancy-associated proteins and the split product of complement factor 3 (C3d) were measured in 14 women with severe pre-eclampsia and their matched controls. Only the mean levels of antithrombin III were observed to be significantly lower in pre-eclampsia (P less than 0.02).
