| Abstract | ||
| Objective: To measure the serum Dickkopf-1 level in neonates with HIE and to study its relation to the neurodevelopmental outcome in those neonates in comparison to healthy neonates. Methods: We measured serum levels of Dkk-1 by ELISA in neonates with HIE (n = 40) and in healthy controls (n = 30). Results: Dkk-1 serum levels increased significantly in HIE neonates than in healthy control, Serum DKK-1 levels increased significantly in severe HIE patients. Conclusion: DKK1 level was higher in neonates with HIE than normal neonates and DKK1 level correlated positively with the degree of HIE. | ||
