The role of endothelial dysfunction for pregnancy complications occurrence with asiderotic anemia in pregnant women

Abstract

The aim of the study was to assess the endothelium in pregnant women suffering from iron deficiency anemia . It is shown that the combination of IDA and placental dysfunction is associated with the signs of endothelial dysfunction in the form of asymmetric response of endothelium to reactive hyperemia after mechanical stress on the vascular wall and increase the diameter of the brachial artery by more than 10 % in 85 % of pregnant women. The data suggest that the assessment of the functional state of the endothelium via flow-dependent vasodilation is adequate non-invasive method of assessing the nature of endothelial function in pregnant women.
