Relationship between endometrial Arias-Stella phenomenon and concentrations of urinary chorionic gonadotropin and serum human placental lactogen.
Serum placental lactogen (HPL) and urinary chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) were measured in 14 patients with the endometrial Arias-Stella phenomenon and in 35 comparable patients without this reaction in order to explore a possible causative relationship between the hormonal levels and the endometrial changes. The concentrations of HPL and HCG were similar in both groups of patients, indicating a lack of correlation between the levels of these two hormones and endometrial changes.
