Our results show that maternal urinary CA 19-9 concentration is significantly higher in pregnancies with severe FH. However, no difference was detected in serum CA 19-9 concentrations between pregnancies with severe FH, mild-moderate FH and controls. If the mechanisms of transplacental passage and maternal urinary excretion are clarified, maternal urinary CA 19-9 may be a potential marker for indicating fetal kidney damage.
