The present meta-analysis suggests that serum CA-125 levels are increased in preeclamptic women during the third trimester of pregnancy. This association should be interpreted with caution as there are concerns for significant selection bias. Future studies are needed to corroborate these findings and investigate the diagnostic accuracy of this biomarker during early pregnancy.
