BACKGROUND: Preeclampsia is characterized by a maternal systemic inflammatory response and the impairment of maternal immune tolerance present in healthy pregnancy. Soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) is a biomarker increasingly used for the monitoring of systemic inflammation. We aimed to assess the levels of suPAR and other markers of systemic inflammation in preeclampsia compared to healthy pregnancy. METHODS: We determined plasma suPAR, IL-6 and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels in plasma samples of 62 healthy pregnant and 41 preeclamptic women in the third trimester of pregnancy. RESULTS: Plasma suPAR levels were elevated in preeclampsia [3.18 (2.30-4.71) ng/mL vs. 2.02 (1.81-2.40) ng/mL, p=0.0001, median (interquartile range)]. IL-6 and hs-CRP levels were also higher compared with healthy pregnancy [5.99 (2.97-18.12) pg/mL vs. 1.41 (1.00-2.70) pg/mL, p=0.0001 and 6.60 (3.55-15.40) mg/L vs. 3.90 (2.10-7.25) mg/L, p=0.006, respectively, median (interquartile range)]. Linear regression analyses revealed an association between individual plasma suPAR and log IL-6 levels as well as log hs-CRP levels. CONCLUSIONS: suPAR levels are elevated in preeclampsia and vary in a narrower range compared with IL-6 and hs-CRP. ROC analysis indicated that monitoring of suPAR levels is a suitable tool for the detection of systemic inflammation in pregnancy.
