Amniotic fluid neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin and L-type fatty acid-binding protein in predicting fetal inflammatory response syndrome.

The maternal white blood cell count and amniotic interleukin-6 and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin levels were effective predictors of fetal inflammatory response syndrome. Amniotic fluid L-type fatty acid-binding protein level was an effective predictor of neonatal respiratory support.
