What is Placental growth factor (PLGF)?

The Placental Growth Factor (PLGF) test measures the level of a protein produced by the placenta during pregnancy. This protein is essential for the development of blood vessels in the placenta.

Why is this test important?

PLGF levels are crucial for assessing the risk and severity of pre-eclampsia, a serious pregnancy complication characterized by high blood pressure. Abnormal levels can help healthcare providers monitor the mother's and baby's health and guide timely interventions.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
