Introduction: The etiopathogenesis of HG is still unclear. Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the levels of YKL-40 protein as an inflammatory marker and evaluate the levels of IMA as an oxidative marker in hyperemesis gravidarum women. Materials and Methods: Totally 35 patients with hyperemesis gravidarum and 35 healthy pregnants were included in the study. Singleton pregnancies between 6+0 week and 13+6 weeks of gestation, with normal fetal anatomy were included in the study. Complete blood count, complete urine analyze, biochemical tests and thyroid function tests were done. Results: There was no significant difference between groups for demographical features (age, gravidity, gestational age, body mass index). Also, there was no statistically significant difference between groups for IMA levels (p>0.05). The median level of YKL-40 was higher in pregnants with hyperemesis gravidarum than normal pregnants but the difference was not statistically significance (p>0.05). Conclusion: Further comprehensive studies with more number of patients are needed to show the efficacy of YKL-40 and IMA levels for predicting hyperemesis gravidarum and even monitoring of the treatment.

ÖZLohusalık döneminde ortaya çıkan enfeksiyon ve ağrı gibi nedenlerin sıklıkla gebelik ve doğuma bağlı olduğu kabul edilir.Ancak, diğer önemli nedenlerde akılda tutulmalıdır. Akut apandisit gebelikte obstetrik nedenler dışında, en sık karşılaşılan akut cerrahi gerektiren durumdur. Bu yazıda; püerperal dönemde karın ağrısı, yüksek vücut ısısı ve yüksek C-reaktif protein ile kliniğimize başvuran akut apandisit tanısı alan bir hasta sunuldu ve konu literatür bilgisi eşliğinde tartışıldı. ABSTRACTProblems such as infection and pain that occur in the puerperium are frequently assumed to be related to pregnancy or delivery. Nevertheless, other important causes should also be kept in mind. Acute appendicitis is the most common nonobstetrics an acute surgical condition in pregnancy. In current report, a patient who had applied to our clinic with abdominal pain, high body temperature and high C-reactive protein in puerperium and diagnosed as acute appendicitis and later performed appendectomy was presented and the topic was discussed along with the literature review.
