High sensitivity C-reactive protein in pre-eclamptic women living with HIV at a tertiary hospital in Zambia: a preliminary study

2024Open accessUniversity of the Witwatersrand

Abstract

high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels were higher among the cases than controls. However, similar levels were observed in the subgroup of women living with HIV on ART. Participants with high hs-CRP levels had the highest odds of preeclampsia, suggesting that hs-CRP may be useful in predicting preeclampsia.
