Abstract

The present article is concerned with the study of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) level in the blood serum of pregnant women  with post–trauma brain injury syndrome (post-TBI syndrome) as the marker of  hematoencephalic barrier status and predictor of obstetric and perinatal complications development.
