Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Endometriosis is a common gynecological benign disease which significantly compromise quality of life in patients and is a major cofactor of infertility. With the proteomic approach the investigators will search for proteins with significantly different levels in peritoneal fluid, serum and uterine fluid samples of women with endometriosis versus control group. Results will be validate using ELISA aproach.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Informed consent will be obtained from all individual participants included in the study. Blood sample will be obtained the day before laparoscopic surgery during regular clinical preoperative procedures. Peritoneal fluid and uterine fluid will be obtained during regular laparoscopic procedure indicated for infertility, the exact protocol of sample obtaining will be revealed after publication of results. The aim of the study was to identify potential diagnostic and predictive biomarkers or drug targets.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Endometriosis

All patients had laparoscopy due to infertility (and endometriosis). All women had BMI in normal range and regular menstrual cycle (21-35 days). Partner's semen analysis was normal in all cases. The investigators excluded patients with hormonal therapy in the last year, irregular menstrual cycle, smokers and patients with autoimmune diseases, malignant or suspected malignant diseases, previous pelvic inflammatory disease, leiomyoma uteri or polycystic ovaries. None of the patients had previous pelvic surgery.

proteomic analyses, ELISA validation of peritoneal fluid, blood and uterine fluid sample

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

All samples were collected during laparoscopy, before any intraabdominal procedure was done. Indication for surgery was clinical (not for research purpose). All sample collection procedures was mimic regular clinical procedures.

Primary infertility

All patients had laparoscopy due to infertility (and endometriosis). All women had BMI in normal range and regular menstrual cycle (21-35 days). Partner's semen analysis was normal in all cases. The investigators excluded patients with hormonal therapy in the last year, irregular menstrual cycle, smokers and patients with autoimmune diseases, malignant or suspected malignant diseases, previous pelvic inflammatory disease, leiomyoma uteri or polycystic ovaries. None of the patients had previous pelvic surgery.
