Objective: The objectives of the present study were to evaluate the activity of phospholipase A 2 , plasma elastase enzymes and to assess relation with
an inflammatory marker high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in nonpregnant before and after delivery of normotensive pregnant and preeclamptic
women.
Methods: The study population consists of three groups: Nonpregnant (Group 1, n=57), normotensive pregnant (Group 2, n=57), and pre-eclamptic
women (Group 3, n=57). Groups 2 and 3 were followed after delivery within 48 hrs. Phospholipase A , plasma elastase, and hs-CRP levels were determined spectrophotometrically.
Results: The plasma elastase, phospholipase A 22 activity, and hs-CRP were elevated in pre-eclampsia significantly (p<0.05), nonsignificant rise in
normotensive pregnant before delivery condition compared to nonpregnant women. However, plasma elastase in normal pregnancy and pre-eclampsia
were decreased by 1.2- and 2.07-fold, respectively, after delivery. Whereas phospholipase A and hs-CRP found to be nonsignificantly decreased in the
postdelivery status of the both the groups. Receiver operating characteristics curve analysis showed that elastase enzyme has diagnostic importance to assess inflammation on the basis of area under curve (0.758).2
Conclusion: Our research findings generated knowledge about raised level of plasma elastase enzyme by neutrophil degranulation represents inflammation in pre-eclampsia. Elevated elastase, phospholipase A
