(A) C-reactive protein (CRP) levels during the three trimesters. First trimester median 2.39 mg/L. Second trimester median 2.44 mg/L. Third trimester median 4.12 mg/L. CRP levels increased during the third trimester and were significantly higher compared to the first trimester (p<0.0001) and the second trimester (p=0.0006). Please note axis break. (B) Pentraxin-3 (PTX3) levels during the three trimesters. First trimester median 3.33 µg/L. Second trimester median 3.69 µg/L. Third trimester median 7.70 µg/L. PTX3 levels increased during the third trimester and were significantly higher compared to the first trimester (p<0.0001) and the second trimester (p<0.0001). Please note axis break. (C) Plasma albumin levels during the three trimesters. First trimester median 43.02 g/L. Second trimester median 34.22 g/L. Third trimester median 33.46 g/L. The albumin levels were significantly higher compared to the second (p<0.0001) and the third (p<0.0001) trimester. Please note axis start. Kruskal-Wallis and Mann Whitney U-tests were used to analyze differences in CRP, PTX3 and albumin levels during the three trimesters. ***p = 0.0006, ****p < 0.0001.
