THE ROLE OF BIOCHEMICAL MATERNAL SERUM MARKERS IN PROGNOSIS OF OBSTETRICAL COMPLICATIONS

Abstract

The article represents the combined results of 1-st and 2-nd trimester maternal serum biochemical markers investigation. Associations of biochemical screening results and the main obstetric complications are studied. Authors critically analyzed the using of biochemical markers of the fetal chromosomal abnormalities as indicators for formation of high risk groups of obstetric complications

Keywords
