Abstract
Estimations of urinary estrone glucuronide, pregnanediol glucuronide and human chorionic gonadotrophin were carried out by ELISA to see their potential in predicting an abnormal outcome in cases with vaginal bleeding in early pregnancy. Reference values were set up with samples from women without bleeding in present or past pregnancies and with normal ultrasonic findings. None of the parameters were found to be sensitive enough to predict an abnormal outcome. However, predictability of an abnormal value was found to be 95% for estrone-3-glucuronide (E 1G), 93% for pregnanediol glucuronide (PdG) and 87% for human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG).
