Placental protein 5 (PP5) in severe pre-eclampsia and eclampsia.
Circulating methods of placental protein 5 (PP5) were studied in patients with severe preeclampsia and eclampsia. Elevated PP5 levels were frequently observed in the eclampsia group. This elevation may be due to disturbance in endogenous coagulation mechanisms at the placental site.
