OBJECTIVE: To compare endothelial microparticles values in eclamptic, preeclamptic and normotensive pregnant @entity1 . MATERIALS AND METHODS: @entity1 were selected among those who assisted to Obstetrics Emergency at Hospital Central "Dr. Urquinaona", Maracaibo, Venezuela. There were included 30 @entity1 with mild @entity1468 (group A), 30 @entity1 with severe @entity1468 (group B) and 30 @entity1 with @entity3036 (group C). A control group was selected for having similar age and body mass index to studied groups and consisted in 35 healthy pregnant @entity1 (group D). There were included only nuliparous @entity1 . Blood samples were collected in all @entity1 before delivery and in studied groups immediately after diagnosis for endothelial microparticles determination. RESULTS: There were statistically significant differences in gestational age between groups B and C compared with controls (P<.05). Higher values of endothelial microparticles were observed in eclamptic @entity1 together with severe preeclamptic @entity1 . Lower values were found in mild preeclamptic @entity1 . Studied groups presented significant higher values of endothelial microparticles compared with controls (P<.05). When linear regression was performed, factors that significantly affected endothelial microparticles values were: @entity414 , 24-hour @entity644 , transaminases and platelet count (P<.05). CONCLUSIONS: The findings of this research showed that eclamptic and preeclamptic @entity1 had higher endothelial microparticles values than normotensive pregnant @entity1 .
