In addition, there was a positive correlation between the serum Cu and CP levels and the systolic and diastolic blood pressure values and aspartate amino transferase levels (AST), and a negative correlation between the serum Cu and CP levels and the platelet count.<b>Conclusion:</b> This was the first study in which the ceruloplasmin and Cu levels were investigated in HELLP syndrome patients.
In addition, these factors were markedly different in patients with hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, low platelet count syndrome and eclampsia than in patients with preeclampsia with or without severe features (<i>P</i><0.001) and in patients with preeclampsia with severe features than in those without severe features (<i>P</i><0.001). sEng correlated positively with blood pressure, proteinuria, and levels of creatinine, uric acid, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, and lactate dehydrogenase; and inversely with gestational age, infant's birth weight, and platelets counts (<i>P</i><0.001 for all).
Manual and semi-automated PP5/TFPI-2 immunoscores were higher in early preeclampsia with or without HELLP syndrome but not in late preeclampsia than in respective controls.
Women with features of HELLP displayed the highest plasma proteasome levels and activity, which correlated with decreased IFN-γ (interferon-γ), and increased IL (interleukin)-8 and IL-10.

Our findings suggest that an increased placental perlecan expression may be associated with hypoxic ischaemic injury of the placenta in miscarriages and in early preeclampsia with or without HELLP syndrome.
The aim of this study was to compare the levels of oxidative stress markers - total oxidant status (TOS), total antioxidant status (TAS), oxidative stress index (OSI), and malondialdehyde (MDA) - and a hypoxia marker - carbonic anhydrase IX (CA IX) - in patients with HELLP syndrome and in healthy pregnant women.
We measured serum levels of total and fetal circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA), soluble endoglin, soluble form of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor, and placental growth factor in a healthy control group of pregnant women (n = 26), patients with mild (n = 37) and severe PE (n = 25), and patients with HELLP syndrome (n = 16).
Severely decreased ADAMTS13 unbound to VWF may play a key role in the pathogenesis of HELLP syndrome.A qualitative ADAMTS13 assay may be important for diagnosing HELLP syndrome.

The activation of ERK1/2 signaling may induce additional trophoblastic functional changes in HELLP syndrome, while distinct mechanisms may promote late-onset preeclampsia.
The presence of at least one polymorphic allele for NOS3T-786C was also associated with the occurrence of eclampsia or HELLP syndrome among preeclamptic women.
