			<p>Corticotrophin-releasing hormone is secreted during pregnancy in maternal and
fetal from the placenta. Increased levels of Corticotrophin-releasing hormone
(CRH) related with increased of serum Cortisol. In addition adrenocorticotropic
hormone ACTH is usually changes during pregnancy and increase in late
pregnancy and throw delivery. levels of C-reactive protein CRP related with
adverse pregnancy outcomes, including preterm delivery. The present study was
conducted to examine BMI, Hb, Red Blood Cells (RBC), Random Blood Sugar
(RBS), creatinine, albumin and uric acid levels in pregnant women and examined
the levels of h-CRP, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and Cortisol levels. The
study appeared significantly decreased in each of Hb, RBC, Creatinine, albumin
and non significantly decrease in random blood sugar (RBS) in pregnant women as
compared with control groups, also there was significant increased in BMI and uric
acid and non significantly increased in Age in pregnant women when compared
with control groups. In addition of that, the result appeared significantly increased
in each of ACTH, Cortisol in pregnant women as compared with control groups.
But there was not significantly increased in level of h-CRP in pregnant women
compared with control groups, in addition of that there is Positive significant
correlations were observed between-CRP and ACTH, but there was negative
correlation was found between h-CRP and Cortisol in pregnant women.</p>
