Elevated urine thrombomodulin/creatinine ratio in severely preeclamptic pregnancies

Am J Obstet Gynecol. 1994 Sep;171(3):854-6. doi: 10.1016/0002-9378(94)90111-2.

Abstract

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.
