Elevated urine thrombomodulin/creatinine ratio in severely preeclamptic pregnancies.
A relationship between the urine thrombomodulin/creatinine ratio and preeclampsia was investigated. Preeclamptic women had a higher urine thrombomodulin/creatinine ratio than did matched controls. However, significantly elevated urine thrombomodulin/creatinine ratios were found in severely, but not mildly, preeclamptic pregnancies.
