Aim: The aim of this study was to determine whether early second trimester amniotic fluid prolactin level were associated with pregnancy outcome.
Material and Method: This study included 125 women who underwent amniocentesis for variable indications. Healthy subjects with no history of drug use were included in this study. The gestational age was determined by ultrasonic examination before 10 weeks in all cases. Amniotic fluid specimens were taken while performing amniocentesis for other indications. Amniotic fluid was collected by transabdominal amniocentesis. Amniotic fluid prolactin concentrations were utilized to predict pregnancy complication among women who underwent amniocentesis due to the variable indications.
Results: Among all study population, pregnancy was unremarkable in 102 (81.6%) cases, on the other hand, most common fetal abnormality was found to be the fetal hydrops fetalis and the second most commonly encountered fetal anomaly was trisomy, intrauterine growth restriction and intrauterine fetal demise. All study population was divided into two groups as complicated (n=23) and uncomplicated (n=102) pregnancies. Amniotic fluid prolactin concentration did not have any predictive value for complicated pregnancies (AUC=0.479).
Conclusion: Our data showed; there is no relationship between early second trimester amniotic fluid prolactin level and pregnancy outcome.
