摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for noninvasive prediction or diagnosis of inflammation and/or infection in amniotic fluid leaked through the cervix into the vagina to predict the concentration of inflammatory markers in the amniotic fluid inside uterus by measuring the concentration of inflammatory markers (various cytokines). More particularly, the present invention relates to a method for prediction or diagnosis of inflammation and/or infection in amniotic fluid by measuring the concentration of markers (IL-6, IL-1² IL-8, MCP-1, GRO-±) in the amniotic fluid leaked through the cervix into the vagina in patients with premature rupture of membranes. The method of the present invention can be performed more stably on pregnant women, as compared to the conventional method for prediction or diagnosis of inflammation and/or infection using invasively collected amniotic fluid.
