Investigation of maternal and cord blood erythropoietin and copeptin levels in low-risk term deliveries complicated by meconium-stained amniotic fluid

摘要

Objective: To compare maternal, cord blood erythropoietin (EPO), and copeptin levels in low-risk term deliveries which are complicated by meconium-stained amniotic fluid (MSAF) to those with clear amniotic fluid. Also, to evaluate the relations between these markers and cord blood pH values.
