Cord blood fHbF and key heme‐scavenger defences were measured and compared with normal term births (<jats:italic>N</jats:italic> = 26) and births with late‐onset FGR (<jats:italic>N</jats:italic> = 12).ResultsfHbF was elevated in early‐onset FGR compared with normal pregnancy: 0.437(0.337/0.753) mg/mL; and 0.098 (0.045/0.264) mg/mL, respectively (<jats:italic>p</jats:italic> < 0.0001); whilst hemopexin was downregulated in early‐ (<jats:italic>p</jats:italic> < 0.001) and late‐onset FGR (<jats:italic>p</jats:italic> < 0.0001), compared to normal pregnancy: 36(14/81) μg/mL, 25(19/40) μg/mL, and 155(132/219) μg/mL, respectively; median (interquartile ranges). Early‐onset FGR male foetuses had higher HbF compared with the normal males: 0.710(0.433/0.857) mg/mL; (<jats:italic>p</jats:italic> < 0.001); 0.099(0.043/0.246) mg/mL, respectively; median (interquartile ranges). In early‐onset FGR, ratios of mid‐cerebral artery and umbilical artery pulsatility indices correlated positively with heme‐scavenger levels (hemopexin and a heme‐handling composite measure: <jats:italic>p</jats:italic> < 0.05, <jats:italic>r</jats:italic> = 0.672; and <jats:italic>p</jats:italic> < 0.01, <jats:italic>r</jats:italic> = 0.620; respectively), indicating lower levels are associated with cerebral vascular redistribution. These heme handling measures also positively correlated with gestational age at delivery (<jats:italic>r</jats:italic> = 0.713 and <jats:italic>r</jats:italic> = 0.642, respectively, <jats:italic>p</jats:italic> < 0.01, both) and birthweight (<jats:italic>r</jats:italic> = 0.742, <jats:italic>p</jats:italic> < 0.001; and <jats:italic>r</jats:italic> = 0.523, <jats:italic>p</jats:italic> < 0.05; respectively).ConclusionOverproduction of fHbF and an inadequate heme defence may contribute to foetal distress and poor umbilical arterial Dopplers in early onset FGR due to elevated placental vascular resistance and vascular inflammation.","PeriodicalId":8984,"journal":{"name":"BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology","volume":"49 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143451587","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
