The aim of the study was to determine the association of serum leptin levels in women with endometriosis with the stage of severity of the pathological process.</p> <p><strong>Materials and Methods.</strong> We have studied 69 patients with endometriosis (main group) and 47 women without gynecological pathology (control group), who were examined and operated at the City Clinical Perinatal Center, Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine. The severity of endometriosis was determined according to the order of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine № 319 of April 6, 2016. Quantitative determination of serum leptin level was performed by ELISA Kit (CAN-L-4260, Canada). Statistical analyses based on Microsoft Excel statistical analysis package and Statistica 12.0. Patients in both groups statistically did not differ due to body mass index (p˃0.05).</p> <p><strong>Results.</strong> The average leptin level of women of the main group was 3.2-fold higher than the level of this hormone in the control group (28.94±7.20 ng/ml vs. 12.11±4.16 ng/ml) (p&lt;0.05). 55.1 % of women with endometriosis had leptin values ​​from 20.00 to 29.99 ng/ml, which was 6.5-fold higher than the frequency of women of control (p&lt;0.05). An increase in leptin in the progression of the severity of endometriosis was proved: in stage I, the average difference was 8.82±2.71 ng/ml (p&lt;0.05), in stage II – 14.86±2.63 ng/ml (p&lt;0.001), in stage III –18.12±3.69 ng/ml (p&lt;0.001), in stage IV – 26.99±3.52 ng/ml (p&lt;0.001) compared with leptin of the control group (12.11±4.16 ng/mL). Thus, an increase of leptin level in 1.7 times leads to increase the risk of endometriosis I severity stage (OR=4.43; 95% CI: 2.01-9.78; p&lt;0.001), in 2.2 times – stage II (OR=4.09; 95%CI: 1.29-12.94; p&lt;0.05), in 2.4 times increases the chances of stage III (OR=3.51; 95%CI: 1.10-11.23; p&lt;0.05), and in 3.2 times – IV severity stage (OR=3.79; 95%CI: 1.19-12.07; p&lt;0.05).</p> <p><strong>Conclusions.</strong> Leptin can be considered a prognostic marker of endometriosis and diagnosis of severity.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Problems of Endocrine Pathology}, author={Остафійчук, Світлана and Дзьомбак, Володимир and Левицький, Ігор and Кравчук, Інна and Кінаш, Наталія and Моцюк, Юлія}, year={2022}, month={Jun.}, pages={47-52} }
