Association between serum amyloid a and hydatidiform mole

Background

Early detection of hydatidiform moles is crucial as it allows for timely intervention and management. If left untreated, molar pregnancies can lead to complications such as gestational trophoblastic neoplasia, which may impose significant mortality risk and require more intensive treatment. Therefore, it would be helpful to identify new diagnostic markers to aid in the early detection of molar pregnancy. Aim of study: To evaluate the association between serum amyloid A and hydatidiform mole. Patients and methods: The study has been conducted at Baghdad Teaching Hospital/ Medical City, Baghdad. The data was collected from the 1st of January 2024 to the 1st of September 2024. A total number of 120 pregnant women in the first trimester were enrolled in the study; which included 30 patients with complete molar pregnancy (group I), 30 patients with partial molar pregnancy (group II), and 60 healthy pregnant women as controls (group III).
