• Research summary

  My project explores the predictive value of plasma samples of NGAL with regards to preeclampsia. I will use 100 patients in my study and measure their NGAL values at 12 weeks and 20 weeks. Later on I will find the patients who develop preeclampsia and hypertension of pregnanacy (minor variant of preeclapmsia) and correlate the NGAL values with the clinical endpoint.
