Summary

Objectives: To evaluate maternal serum trace elements and heavy metals namely, aluminum (Al), chromium (Cr), manganese (Mn), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), arsenic (As), molybdenum (Mo), cadmium (Cd), tin (Sn), antimony (Sb), mercury (Hg), and lead (Pb) in pregnant women complicated by preterm prelabour rupture of the membranes (pP-ROM) and to compare the results with healthy pregnancies.

Methods: Maternal serum levels of Al, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Mo, Cd, Sn, Sb, Hg, and Pb were measured in the study group, which included 55 pregnant women complicated with pP-ROM and 60 healthy pregnancies (control group) with respect to maternal age and gestational weeks. The maternal serum levels of trace elements and heavy metals in both groups were measured using an inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and compared.
