Abstract
Our purpose was to compare and correlate amniotic fluid GRO-alpha, interleukin-8, and L-selectin in patients with and without intraamniotic infection. Amniocentesis was performed on 45 pregnant women with preterm contractions, labor, or rupture of membranes. Fourteen patients had intraamniotic infection, and 31 did not. Intraamniotic infection was defined as the presence of a positive amniotic fluid culture. Amniotic fluid tests for Gram stain, glucose, neutrophil counts, creatinine, pH, and specific gravity were performed. Amniotic fluid levels of soluble L-selectin, interleukin-8, and GRO-alpha were measured by an enzyme-linked immunoassay and normalized by amniotic fluid creatinine levels. The Mann-Whitney Utest and Spearman's rank correlation test were used for statistical analyses. Amniotic fluid median levels of soluble L-selectin, interleukin-8, and GRO-alpha were significantly higher in pregnant women with intraamniotic infection than in those without intraamniotic infection (soluble L-selectin: median 3334.6 ng/mg creatinine, range 408.4 to 15,956.8 vs 717.2 ng/mg creatinine, range 129.4 to 4601.9, p = 0.009; GRO-alpha: median 841.6 ng/mg creatinine, range 28.1 to 8591.7 vs 56.8 ng/mg creatinine, range 0.0 to 440.2, p ...Continue Reading
