PLACENTAL GROWTH FACTOR (O.S.)

Overview

Placentary Growth Factor (PlGF) is a protein involved in angiogenesis, primarily produced by the placenta during pregnancy. It plays a crucial role in blood vessel development and placental function. Measurement of PlGF levels can help assess pregnancy-related complications like preeclampsia and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). Elevated or reduced levels of PlGF can provide diagnostic insight into these conditions.
