NCT ID NCT07209748

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether a substance in the blood called sCD163 can help doctors find HELLP syndrome early in pregnant women. HELLP is a rare but serious condition that can harm the liver and blood. Researchers will compare sCD163 levels in 70 pregnant women—some with HELLP and some healthy—to see if the test is accurate and can tell how severe the condition is.
